The AX is higher quality but costs more. I'd pick the AX only for a computer used for work.

Mind you, at those prices I guess you could for the AX anyway, even for a gaming machine.

Do you really need that much wattage? What are you trying to build? Something with two high-end graphics cards?

Work as in gaming? Yes, we are planning on running a i5 4670 with a gtx 760...

EDIT: We are planning on upgrading later to two 760's, Would this PSU hold? (the AX)

rm because it is quiter then the ax series

Im not really looking for quiteness, More reliability and long term lasting...

GTX 760 doesn't need any of those PSUs. Get the 650TX instead, it's plenty.

meh in htat case they are both likely extremly reliable so go with whichever is hceaper althoug the rm is newer

Yes, But, we plan on adding another 760 to be able to use a 3 monitor setup..

EDIT: Not meaning to argue guys, Im just wondering which would work best... i could possibly bring it down... Any good recommendations?

Any of these would handle a GTX 760 all right.

All right, in that case we are looking at a 700W PSU (or larger)

If you want the best quality, get the AX760

Hows this?
Corsair RM Series RM650 Modular Power Supply
http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX48186

(Though, Would this handle 2 Gtx's 760 or 770's OC'd and a i5 4670?)

Actually, here's a good deal for the AX860:

It could handle them, even if it's 20W below the minimum recommended. But get the AX860 from NCIX, it gives you a lot more room for fans and disk drives and other PCI-E cards.

Ill probably go with the AX760w with dual 760's...
