I like them. I have a couple. 1600 T2, 1200 T2, 2-1000 T2’s. All perform well. It depends on which one. Look here: http://orionpsudb.com/evga.

I read someplace it was FSP? or was that a lie?

GD = FSP

G5 = Super flower.

Thanks,
 
So will the original cables from Cablemods work from the G3 or that is not know yet?

They will probably work. To be 100% sure I'd contact cablemod & evga and ask them the same question.

The compatibility tab shows a lot of interchangeability:

100-G2-08LL-B9

450-850 G2/G3/G5/GP/GM/P2/PQ/T2 
 
It's always a good idea to check though. Also a great price on the G5.

I would check because part of it is also wattage rating of the cable.
 
As for the price I agree that the G5 is a great value. Normally when we see a new product launch it doesn't drop 15% in price over the last version. I have been considering the 1000W and even without the rebate it's a good deal at $199 compared to the G3 at $229.

I always wanted a Superflower unit. I just purchased the EVGA G5 750w and put it up against a Seasonic Focus 850w. The Seasonic was heavier and more compact, the unit was a little bit smaller than the EVGA. Because of the weight of the PSU, I was wondering if the quality wasn't as good. It was once I started to pull out the cables is when I immediately noticed the cables were heavier. It felt like I went from using CCA wire and went to OFC. This stuff is quality and VERY flexible. That's when I knew the Seasonic was getting returned and not the EVGA unit. I have zero complaints about the G5 unit, it's a solid PSU from what I've seen so far. It was actually for my back-up rig, but I liked it so much, I put it in my main.
 
*EDIT*
I have removed the G5 from my PC and replaced it with a Seasonic Focus Plus Platinum 850w instead. I would advise to stay away from the G5 power supplies, i'd recommend a G3 or P2 series instead.
