What are the difference between them? And which one is better?

If you can find any stable PSU that provides 750 and is cheaper than these please post, find it on newegg.ca plz

Your question states which CPU should I get but your links go to PSU's. Are you missing something?

Electronically, they are the same. The first one has semi-modular cabling.

I meant PSU

jsc :

so the first one is better right? Like the cords aren't all attached to the PSU Permanently.

Actually they are not electronically identical.

The 750TX V2 is made by Seasonic and the 750TXM is made by CWT.
They are rated at the same output though as both supply 62 amps on the +12v rail.

The 750TX V2 gets a 9.5 jonnyguru score.

The 750TXM only gets an 8.3.

I would get the 750TX V2 myself. There are better modular power supplies in that range for the money than that Corsair if you really want a modular unit.

The OCZ ZT 750w is only $90 after rebate and scores a 9.0 from jonnyguru.

kevin5fan :

I think this one is better than either of the Corsair's you've listed:

XFX 750W PRO750W XXX Edition Single Rail ATX 12V 62A 24PIN ATX Modular Power Supply 80PLUS Silver $124.99 CAD ($104.99 CAD After Mail In Rebate)

It's more expensive at newegg.ca:
