    Thoughts on new PSU?

    (Not sure if this forum or the other was correct, so I'm dropping this is both)

    I bought a prebuilt "custom" pc from Cyberpower a few months ago then got really into upgrading it. Only original parts on it are CPU, PSU, and Storage drive (was main HDD) Right now I'm running:

    Case: CM Elite 430 (Soon to be NZXT Switch 810)
    Motherboard: Asus M5A97
    Power Supply: Xtreme Gear 600w (Soon to be ???)
    Processor: AMD FX-6100 4.4Ghz
    CPU Cooler: Corsair H80
    Memory: GSkill Ripjaws Z 16GB 2133
    Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 560ti
    Hard Drive: Crucial M4 128GB
    Storage Drive: Seagate 1TB 7200 RPM

    At some point in the next few weeks I want to get the Switch 810 and a new PSU, I want PLENTY of headroom for upgrades so i was thinking of something in the range of 850-1000w. I know Corsair and Seasonic are the "best" but is there any others I should look for? I found the NZXT Hale90 series, which I read are just rebranded Seasonics. At $209 the 1000w version seems like a great buy, especially for a Gold certified.

    Any thoughts?

    I posted advice on the other thread it gets confusing when you make 2 post on different threads.
