EDIT: Changed title to better fit what's asked
I'm planning to upgrade my PC build to be a console-killer build, and I'm looking for the best PSU for the build. The purpose of the build is to play games.
Here will be my PC specs:

For the CPU and GPU, I haven't decided yet, but I have made a prediction on what they will be.
CPU: It will probably be Ryzen 5 4000 Series
GPU: Unclear, but expect the power consumption to be somewhere between RTX 2070 Super and RTX 2080Ti.
I have considered lots of PSU choices, and I have cut the selection list into 2 PSU:
1. Enermax Platimax DF 600W 80+ Platinum
Cost: $106
PROS: Fully Modular (better for Mini ITX builds), Had a Score of 9.3 on JonnyGuru (I know they scored it 8.3, but that's because the cost there was $160-170, which dropped the Value score to 5), Great Value (Outvalues even some similar wattage 80+ Gold PSU like Seasonic Focus Gold and Corsair RMx)
CONS: If compared to the second PSU, performance is inferior, and this PSU has less capacity.
This is JonnyGuru's review of Enermax Platimax DF 600W 80+ Platinum
2. Andyson N700 700W 80+ Titanium
Cost: $122
PROS: It's TITANIUM efficiency, Had a score of a perfect 10 on JonnyGuru (I know they scored it 9.9, but that's because of their weird scoring system that automatically cuts scores on PSU that are not Fully Modular for no reason), Insane Value (Outperfoms most similar wattage 80+ Platinum and 80+ Titanium PSU, Outvalues all of them)
CONS: Semi Modular (comparably worse for Mini ITX builds), If compared to the first PSU, this PSU is more expensive.

Which one do you think is the better PSU?
