Hi I need advice on which power supply is better and more reliable. I have an i5-4670K and plan to SLI GTX 660 Ti and possibly higher in the future.
The 2 I am looking at is the Corsair HX 750W or the Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold Series 1000W.
I believe both are 80 Plus GOLD Certified and I can get both for about the same price.
I ask between these because I need to know which is more reliable. I hear some negative things about Cooler Master's PSU's but that the Silent Pro series is an exception, is this true?
Which do you guys recommend for my setup?
Thanks!

Go with the Corsair. The Cooler Master had some minor problems with the quality of it's current when tested by JohnnyGuru.
The Corsair scored a perfect 10 for functionality. Here's the review:

The XFX seems like a better value but has alot less ratings, how good are XFX PSU's and are "ALL" XFX power supplies good and reliable?

XFX is a better power supply! It is made by Seasonic, arguably the best PSU manufacture out there. SR-71's recommendation is what I would go with.
