I would recommend neither; they are bad.

Can you link a site you are buying from and what is your budget?

Sorry, I can not recommend either of those units..... better said, i would strongly advise risking any PC Components to those units.

The Inter-Tech CobaPower 650W (Coba CS-650it 82+) is made by Solytech. Avoid it at all cost.

What about this one.

none of them
except the one ''dish_moose'' told you...seasonic is very good

The main danger of a cheap psu, other than not delivering advertised power is what happens if it fails under load. A cheap psu will not have the protective circuitry to protect what it is connected to from damage.
If forced, I would pick the 650w unit on the basis that it might not get overloaded.

But... a cheap psu can become very expensive and should be avoided if possible.
Here is a list that might help you:

I see lots of super flower PSUs available and even some EVGA/Antec/Seasonic brands. You have many better options than the ones you chose

@ dish_moose , i'm afraid that 520 W is too low for my build , i dunno really what to choose , i will check your list Geofelt and see if i can find something with 260 ron ( 80 $ )

Your graphics card doesn't use much power even at peak; only 155w

The seasonic has the appropriate amps on the +12v rail to, it's very good quality.

 

[Dubfreak]

ok thanks guys for the help , really appreciate it

 

[geofelt]

Seasonic 520 is an outstanding psu that can deliver more than advertised power.
This evga GTX760 superclock recommends a 500w psu with 30 a on the +12v rails.

The Seasonic 520w unit has 40a available.

http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-760/specifications

Thermal and Power Specs:
97 C = Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)
170 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
500 W = Minimum Recommended System Power (W)
Two 6-pin = Supplementary Power Connectors

http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_760_review,5.html

Measured power consumption single card

System in IDLE = 121 W
System Wattage with GPU in FULL Stress = 280W
Difference (GPU load) = 159W
Add average IDLE wattage ~10W
Subjective obtained GPU power consumption = ~ 169 Watts

Here is Guru3Ds power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 760 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 550 Watt power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 760 SLI - On your average system the card requires you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with a bit more stamina.

Since you are overclocking, the 520 will be borderline.....if budget allows, I'd do the 620 and save room for OC'ing that 760 also....I usually get 20+ % on air.
