I'm planning an upgrade around Christmas and was wondering which PSU would be best for this build. I'm considering either the EVGA SuperNOVA T2 850W or the Corsair RMx White 850W, both in the 80+ Titanium or Gold lineup. I'm open to other suggestions within a $150 to $200 budget.

Alternatively, the 650-watt models of those PSUs would be sufficient. Both are reliable PSU options. I wouldn't exceed 750 watts for this setup, as you probably wouldn't reach the optimal efficiency of an 850-watt PSU given the power demands of your system.

Yeah... unless you reside in areas where power bills are significantly higher and you intend to use the equipment continuously, the additional costs for Titanium will likely not be justified by the time you require a replacement system.
A mid-range gold Seasonic Focus Plus, EVGA G2/3, or Corsair TXM should suffice. Those costly power supplies provide little real benefit.
