I'm planning to upgrade my PC over the next month and I have everything I want decided on except the PSU, I have one I am thinking about but would like some opinions.
My new build will be
Intel core i5 2400
ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 mobo
G-Skill Ripjaw X series 8GB (2x4GB) Low Voltage DDR3 1600
Radeon HD 6790 1GB GPU
Corsair Force Series 3 60GB SSD
Samsung EcoGreen 2TB HDD
The PSU I am looking at is
Antec High Current Pro HCP-750 750W PSU
Model HCP-750
Series High Current Pro

Features
Connectors
1 x Main connector (20+4 Pin)
1 x 4+4 Pin ATX12V/EPS12V
1 x 8 Pin EPS12V
6 x PCI-E
9 x SATA
6 x Peripheral
1 x Floppy
Features
750 watts of Continuous Power
80 PLUS Gold certified – up to 92% efficient
NVIDIA SLI-Ready certified, ATI CrossFireX certified
Intelligent Hybrid Cable Management utilizes a 10-pin modular connector system
Special heavy-gauge 16 AWG High Current cable for CPU connectors boosts conductivity, increasing ciency and improving power delivery
2 x 8-pin CPU connectors included for dual-CPU gaming, server applications and high-end motherboards
Gold-plated high-current terminals for optimal conductivity
135 mm double ball bearing PWM fan for optimal and quiet cooling
Four fully-protected High Current +12V rails ensure high-end CPU and graphics cards compatibility
Up to 99% power available on +12V rails
DC-to-DC voltage regulator modules ensure stability and higher efficiency
Highest quality Japanese brand capacitors for long-term reliability
Double-layer PCB allows for heavy-duty components
Full suite of industrial grade protection:
- Over current protection (OCP)
- Over voltage protection (OVP)
- Short circuit protection (SCP)
- Over power protection (OPP)
- Over temperature protection (OTP)
All cables braided and wrapped for better airflow and neatness
Meets 2010 EUP requirement: 5Vsb < 1W
That was all taken from Newegg.
in about a year I may upgrade to an Ivy Bridge CPU and a PCI-e 3.0 GPU, so I want enough power for that, also I may do some moderate overclocking on the CPU and RAM. What do you think of this PSU for this Build? I would like to stay in this price range of sub $200
