Two reviews from the same site of those two units:

http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Antec-High-Current-Gamer-750-W-Power-Supply-Review/1141/
According to these the Thermaltake has slightly higher efficiency, especially on full load. The Antec has lower ripple and noise, especially on the 12V rail. Altho the TT only gets up to ~55mV. According to the JG review the TT had 1% voltage regulation on the 12V rail, which is worth mentioning. So in terms of performance it is hard to choose between them. I'd say the TT slightly edges it, but depends which you value more: efficiency, voltage regulation or ripple and noise suppression.

In terms of features I think the TT takes it because of the modularity.

I couldn't be bothered to go re-read what Gabriel Torres wrote about the internals, so don't have any comments myself about the internal build quality.

Either will handle your rig properly. The pricing however is incredible on the Antec unit. So practically with the units being relatively close in performance, the Antec unit here gets the best buy recommendation IMO.
