Well, unfortunately I need to RMA my 2 week old NZXT Hale82 750M, as it would create a terribly loud, almost like an "electrical scratching" when under any type of load. So instead of skimping out I'm going to go all out. This'll house my sig rig, and an eventual 670 SLI. I'm sure the wattage is enough, and I hear Seasonic is the best, but I just want to make damn sure that this is the one I should get before pulling the trigger. Here's the PSU One review for this psu said
"-Coil whine is bad when power consumption is high (gaming). So much so that I'm debating on putting my non modular back in and dealing with the mess of cables to avoid it.
Other Thoughts: Anyone who actually needs a 750w power supply to use power their rig will most likely run into issues with the coil whine so if you think that might bother you then you may want to consider a different power supply."
And there are a few reviews complaining about whining. I'm not sure if the people complaining about whining are trying to tri SLI 480's, maybe that's why. I doubt a 670 SLI will max out a 750w, and I'm just afraid of this happening again even though I only have one 670 at the moment. Is coil whine unavoidable? The sound that's causing me to RMA my current PSU, I wouldn't even call coil whine, it's more like coil roaring. It's definitely not something I can just ignore and doesn't sound like the minor coil whine that I had heard coming from my 560 ti when I used it. Any advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
I could go corsair as well, but i hear corsair is just a branch of seasonic. But I'm rarely seeing any reviews on this PSU about whine. However, with my luck I'll probably get one that does :/

 I've seen the HALE82 recommended by the PSU experts on here, so I don't know what to say about it. Still, sticking to quality brands is one thing, but knowing which PSUs in their line-ups are good and which are bad is better.
