New PSU..recommendations?

Im looking into a new PSU. Mine has about had it, I'm getting random shutdowns and after some extensive hardware troubleshooting I'm assuming that my PSU just isn't able to hold up to the power consumption of my hardware.

I bought a cheap 650 watt PSU about 7 months ago, so I'm damn sure it isn't a true 650 watt. Im looking at getting something in the 750-900 true watt range, at a price point of under $225.

Right now I'm looking at this Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling S75QB EPS12V 750W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, ULC, CE, CB, RoHS - Retail
Thoughts? Recommendations?

Edit: This is what Im currently useing EagleBit.com - Arrow AD-650-BK 650W ATX12V 20PIN ATX 80mm Fan Power Center
I bought as a quick replacement here at a local computer shop, and has worked well. Until now...

rofl, without clicking the one you'd linked to - I went and picked the exact same one for you.. It's the same one I've just ordered along with the rest of my pc bits. I've heard good things 30% off too O.o

Haha thats great! I was just hunting through, thought about going for Thermaltake, but after looking at some of there negative reviews I had second thoughts. After a bit more searching I came to the one in question and the all the negatives on it were just a few DOAs which happens to the best of companies.

Update: Got the new PSU in, working great so far. And I can see and feel a huge difference in quality with this new PSU. It was larger and roughly 3 times its weight (Larger Capacitors) and had every cable imaginable...no more adapters needed, even though it had more cables than I needed it saved space due to the fact I was able to take out a lot of the crappy adaptors I had. Even the power cable was thicker to give more pull from the outlet.
