If you really want a G-Series look into one of Seasonic's OEM's.

The OP undoubtedly is looking for a mid-range psu, not a high-end one. Why would you need fully modular? Have you ever used a PSU without using its ATX 24-pin connector, EPS 12v, PCI-E? And ADDA ball-bearing fans aren't the best but still far from crappy. At least it'll outlast your V700's FDB (read: sleeve) bearing fan ;)
And the last thing is, OP posted in the wrong forum.

I also paid $90 for it which is even $10 cheaper than the G-Series.
ADDA fans are prone to failure. My 620HX served me well for many years but I won't be going near those fans again.

afaik FDB fans have similar lifespan as ball-bearing but retain the low noise of sleeve fans.
The PSU will probably be dead before the fan dies, however. :/

There are G-Series 650W OEM's for ~$110 which do everything I described. The HX650 has been as low as $80.
There's no reason to buy directly from Seasonic unless you have an issue with other manufacturers.

I would get a CX600M, they are great PSUs and cheaper then the seasonics you guys are recommending.

That's true, but only slightly.
There are better 550W units in that price range. The 600M is Bronze rated, at $79.99 on Newegg right now. You can get better quality units, gold rating, in the $80-$90 range pretty easily.

You just have to remember that Corsair isn't competitive in the mid-range. There's always something better for a competitive price.

Not all G series psus have adda fan. 360w variant I have here in my household does not.
 
I thought I would mention that if you have time, the Antec Neo 520 & 620 PSU's go on sale. I picked-up an Antec Neo 620 for $34.99 AR $35.00 rebate. I hope that I get my rebate. But, they are a decent mid-level Seasonic built PSU based on an older platform. Still rock-solid just the same.

Corsair fully modular HX-750 for $89.99 (AR) shipped. That's a very solid deal & it's a well made Channel-Well PSU. BTW...I bought a CX-430 PSU (for an XP build) a couple of months back & received my $20.00 rebate in less then 3 weeks from Corsair.

It's $130 now, so $110 AR. It was only a short sale.

Also, it's been over 2 months I've been waiting on my rebate for a CX500m I bought back on the black Friday sales. It still says ''final processing'' when I check the status. But I have no doubt it will come eventually.

My vote is for the CS500M, $90, 10% promo code until the 15th so it's $81, plus a $20 MIR so $61 AR-

Modular, 80+ gold, nice unit for 60 bucks.
 
Wrong: The sale is still going. $129.99 minus $20.00 instant promo code, plus $20.00 mail-in rebate=$89.99! This is a great PSU for the money! The Corsair CS doesn't hold a candle to the HX series.
 
Yeah I missed the promo. Yeah of course it's a superior PSU, but it doesn't sound like he wants to spend $110 up front though.
