For my future computer build, I have already chosen all the parts. I have a 'EVGA G2 850w' psu selected. But after some research, I can't decide if I should stay with my chosen psu or if I should change it to either the 'Corsair AX860' or 'Cooler Master V850.

Someone help

On JohnnyGuru.com, the EVGA psu got a 9.9 (SuperFlower product) Dropped in Build Quality
the Corsair has not been reviewed yet (Seasonic product)
the Cooler Master got a 9.7 (Seasonic product) Dropped in Functionality
 
Solution
They're all premium, top tier PSUs. You can't go wrong with any of them. If JG is giving them 9.5+, it means he's having to look really hard with his high end equipment to even find reasons to take points off, in a rig, it's not going to make a difference, they're all great.

Get whichever is cheaper, unless you like the Corsair link software (which not many people do).

All good. Go with the best price.

 

I've had experience with Corsair Link on my old H100i. I tried to change some stuff. Ended up just changing the colour and stopped using it. And the Corsair AX860 doesn't have Corsair link. Corsair link only exists in Coraair products with 'i' at the end
