Nice review im thinking of picking up one of these PSU to replace my Tagan BZ-800 Hilbert any suggestions on what RM Series would suit my system I was thinking of the 850Watt (Specs in the side using a 800D Case)

650 is actually sufficient for you if you do not overclock. But have some reserves man, 750~850 is great especially if you are gonna upgrade your PC at one point in the future.

I can't understand why anyone would review a power supply... Maybe this was important back in 1995, but what difference does it make today? It's like reviewing the softness of my cat's hair, who cares :|

Apparently you haven't seen any PSU reviews on HardwareSecrets and TechPowerup... There's a LOT of stuff going on under the cover. As for the review, I can't believe my eyes when I read this: "The actual OEM of the RM650 is Channel-Well Tech (CWT), they have been working with Corsair for a long time already and have proven themselves to be very trust-worthy in terms of reliability." CWT is one of the worst OEMs out there (conclusion drawn from user feedback). At least it might not have the annoying electronic buzz the Seasonic OEMs have...

CWT is a top notch OEM. But they make too many units, ranging from cheap budget to high end. Many of the top brands (incl Corsair) have used them for ages.

It is not the worst. Though in this case this is not the best work form CWT. It has C(r)apXon and Teapo electrolytic caps there too. I would avoid this unit. On top of that it has build quality issues: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story5&reid=363

For your rig high quality 550W (though price wise 6XXW units make more sense) would be more than enough even if you overclock, anything above 650W would be MASSIVE overkill and you probably would never get even close to the efficiency sweet spot.
