Super Flower Leadex Gold 750W or Corsair RMi Series RM750i 750W

[parkour68]

I'm planning to build a new pc with these specs:
-Cpu: i5 7600k
-Gpu: gtx 1070 ( i don't know which one yet, because the prices are going crazy...)
-Motherboard: MSI Z270 GAMING PRO CARBON
-RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Red 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL16 Dual Channel Kit
-Case: Cooler Master MasterBox 5 Black
-Cooler: Cryorig H7

Which psu do you think it's best for this system? i intend to use XMP mode to overclock the memory. P.S. feel free to tell me if you have something in mind that will work better with the build, and by that i mean anything, not just the psu.

To help you to decide which GPU to go for, here's a great guide to read,
link: https://gpunerd.com/guides/best-gtx-1070

About GPU prices. Since due to the Ethereum mining craze, all mid-tier GPU prices (GTX 1060, GTX 1070, RX 480, RX 580) prices have doubled or those GPUs are completely out of stock.

As far as PSU goes, i'd pick Super Flower Leadex any day of the week. Super Flower and Seasonic are two best/biggest PSU OEMs in the world, while Corsair RMi PSUs are made by 2nd grade PSU OEM: Channel Well Technology.
While RMi series PSUs are also great quality, i'd stick with Super Flower (though, i prefer Seasonic over Super Flower).

If i'd have a free pick about PSUs then i'd go with Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU. 750W is a bit much for your system, unless you're planning to go with 2x GTX 1070 in a 2-way SLI. Else-ways, 650W PSU will do fine.

I also go with different CPU cooler. I'm not fond of the sleeve bearing fan used in H7. Here's reason why i don't like sleeve bearing fans,

For mid-sized CPU cooler that doesn't give RAM clearance issues, i'd go with Arctic Freezer i32,

My i5-6600K in my Skylake build is also cooled by i32 with Corsair ML120 Pro in push-pull. And everything is powered by Seasonic PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU. Full specs with pics in my sig.

They are both brilliant quantity unit's that should last many years so I'd go on whatever had the better deal

Defenetly go for the RMI

The only psu that beats the rmi is a seasonic prime titanium.

Super Flower Leadex 750W and Corsair RM750i are actually equally matched, at least in JonnyGuru eyes. Both units received average score of 9.7 from him.

RM750i, review: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=432

the rmi is better, betterplatform and a better fan thats dead silent + the use of corsair link.

they are only ''scored'' even because of the old price.

conclusion rmi> sf leadex

Thanks for the amazing answer! I saw this review about the Arctic Freezer
i32: https://uk.hardware.info/reviews/6663/5/arctic-freezer-i11-and-i32-cpu-coolers-review-cool-coolers-test-results-cooling-at-30-dba-on-10-cm , but what do you think of some of the other coolers in here?
Also about the psu, i have 144hz monitor do you think 650w is enough? I wanted to get a 750w for future proof.

Arctic Freezer i11 is smaller version of Freezer i32. While being smaller, it's cooling performance is also lower. Having only one 92mm fan that mounts with special plastic bracket, you can't upgrade your cooling performance from push to push-pull, as you can with Freezer i32.
Though, if your PC case doesn't have the 150mm CPU cooler clearance needed for i32, go with i11.

If you're interested then under the spoiler is combined image of my i32. (Click on spoiler to view.)

Your monitor doesn't plug into your PSU. Instead, you plug your monitor's power cable directly into mains. And with that, you don't need to go with 750W PSU.
Back in the old days (some 20 years ago), PSUs did come with a outlet for monitor power cable, so you could power your monitor from the PSU if you chose to do that.

I wanted to go with the MSI Gaming Z, but then the prices start going crazy....
And about the coolers, i wanted to know what do you think of some other coolers that are shown in that review, like the Scythe Fuma and the Thermalright True Spirit 140 Power, compared to the Arctic Freezer i32

 

[superninja12]

schyte mugen rev 3 is a great cooler.

or cryorig h7

or 212 evo

It's nice that Scythe Fuma has ability for up to 3 fans on a heatsink but the issues with it is the RAM clearance and sleeve bearing fans it comes with. Height vise, it's 1mm shorter than i32 by being 149mm tall.
specs: http://www.scythe-eu.com/en/products/cpu-cooler/fuma.html

Thermalright True Spirit 140 Power has fluid dynamic bearing fan and no RAM clearance issues. While it has 140mm fan, it's narrow heatsink (53.4mm) may also struggle to keep your CPU cool. Just for reference, i32 heatsink is 70mm thick. Though it's height of 171.2mm breaks the deal for you since your Cooler Master MasterBox 5 Black case has CPU clearance of 167mm.
specs: http://thermalright.com/product/true-spirit-140-power/

schyte mugen rev 3 is a great cooler.

or cryorig h7

or 212 evo

While all 3 come with affordable price, all 3 CPU coolers also use sleeve bearing fan.

Oh, Schyte Mugen 3 is also discontinued by Schyte.

whats the problem with aa sleeve bearing fan...?

my cryorig h7 is dead silent.

 

[Aeacus]

Here's a reason why i don't like sleeve bearing fans,
link: http://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/779-computer-case-fan-bearing-differences

I had a PSU in my AMD build which had sleeve bearing fan. After some time, the fan started screeching and it went on until my ears couldn't stand it anymore. Enough was enough and went out and bought Seasonic S12II-520 with fluid dynamic bearing fan for my AMD build.

At current time, my Skylake build has only fluid dynamic bearing (FDB) and magnetic levitation bearing (mag-lev) fans. I'm not going back to sleeve bearing fans, despite their cheap price.

That reminded me that in my Haswell build, i have to replace the 2 sleeve bearing fans that are noisy as hell after 2 years of use. Within this month, i'll get rid of them and replace them with FDB or mag-lev fans.

Though, no hard feelings. If you like sleeve bearing fans, feel free to use them. I just don't like them since they have short lifespan, especially when mounted horizontally and they are noisy as well.
