Yes. Some additional information to help you decide: All the PSU's I mentioned are high-quality, reliable, safe, and categorized as upper-tiered PSUs. Oftenly-linked reference is this Tier List of PSU arranged by quality and reliability based on expert reviews: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html.

Generally, there are 3 different types of PSU's (as far as cable connections are concerned), 1) Non-modular (such as your current PSU) where all cables, even the ones that you don't need, are attached to the unit; 2) Fully-modular where all cables are detached from the unit and you will only plug in what you need; and 3) Semi-modular where selected cables (usually the main power cables and, some, a PCIe cable)...

how many watts should I take ?

You can group the list I mentioned above as:

NON-MODULAR (all cables attached):
XFX TS 650W
XFX Pro 650W

FULLY MODULAR (no cables attached):
Seasonic X-650
Seasonic P-660
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GS
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G2
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 P2
XFX XTR 650W
Corsair RM650x
Corsair RM650i (Note: The RMi series features a PSU monitoring "CorsairLink" software via an available USB2.0 Header)

SEMI-MODULAR (selected cables attached):
Seasonic G-650 (the 24-pin ATX cable, an 8-pin ATX12V/EPS cable, and an 8-pin PCIe cable are attached; the rest detached)
EVGA SuperNOVA 650 GQ (the 24-pin ATX cable is attached; the rest detached)
