EVGA Supernova GS series PSU

I had a power surge kill my system, although I could not verify what was broken (It would fail memory tests when all DIMMs were populated, but no individual stick would produce errors, and running the computer in windows would cause a hard shutdown no matter what I did with the memory. Also my PSU was within 1% on every pin at idle - I didn't know of a way to measure it at load - testing with a fluke 87.)



Anyway, that introduction has nothing to do with my question, and it will take awhile to finish the background I was going to give, so I will stop trying now. The question is how are the new EVGA GS series power supplies? I bought a 850W version on sale from Newegg, and before I take out my old Seasonic X-760 and replace it with the EVGA psu, I would like to know more about it. The PSU I got was this: http://ift.tt/1Cefsen



I mainly want to replace the Seasonic because I can't be sure it didn't get damaged by the power surge. While every measurement was on the dot, I was measuring it at idle, and I don't have a way to load it, or to capture the waveforms from the output. I just measured the DC value with a multimeter.
