I was looking at the following two because I bought the CX600M from Tiger Direct so I can only exchange for another PSU there, any thoughts? I am trying to stay under the $100 mark if possible.

Thermaltake Smart Series 750W

I am limited to Tiger Direct due to having an opened product. So in store exchange is my only option which stinks. Their selection is fairly limited especially with modular.

I'm running:

i5 2500k
8gb 1333 mhz DDR3 RAM
EVGA GTX 770 ACX
2 HDD's (500gb/1TB)
5 Case Fans
Corsair H60 Cooler
ASRock Pro-3M mobo

I don't think I will be going SLI at all.

What do you need 750w for? Unless you plan or think you might run 2 or more GPU's in the future, a 550w unit is all you need.
That being said, the corsair builders series units are okay for the price when your buying small units (like the 430w model), otherwise they cost to much and they're not the best to begin with. The thermaltake smart units are okay, but like I said, if you'd get a 550w unit you could get a much better one for the same price or less.

I am looking for a modular 600W-700W, and in store, there isn't much in that range for my price point. I returned a Corsair CX600M due to reading how low quality the PSU is for the Thermaltake which I haven't used yet but I am constrained to in store at this point since they won't give me my money back to go elsewhere.

Based on that, which one of the two would you recommend then?

Either one since the only difference is the metal shell. The internal circuit boards and components are exactly the same.

I think Corsair's warranty support is better than Thermaltake's though.
