What region are you based in? They're decent enough, but not top quality for the price.
If you're going to invest in better quality, you may as well aim higher IMO as you can probably get better for a similar price.

Also why 750W - your rig could easily run on a 550W?

I live in Egypt and that’s what available there

Obviously I do not know what the prices translate to in real terms - however I can deduce what is a higher number! Based on what I can see:
The G2 equates to about 120 GBP which is pricey for me, but compared to a BQ at nealy £100, I'd opt for the SuperNOVA IMO.

So basically, if you opt for the Seasonic FOCUS, Corsair RMi, or EVGA SuperNOVA G2 (or G1) you're in excellent hands.
The CX and BQ are also very good, just not as good as the above, but still decent enough to be recommended if you want to stick to a budget :) They're all substantially better than the really cheap EVGA units.
