I would definitely go with the XFX Pro. That particular model from XFX is manufactured by Seasonic and is one of the best 850w PSU's on the market. Also, if you look at the reviews out there, you will see the XFX Pros score significantly higher than the HX series from Corsair. Hope this helps!

While the Corsair HX PSU is very good, XFX PSUs are built by Seasonic. Seasonic is among the top-quality manufacturers in the industry.

All things being equal, I'd go with the XFX.

Though, if the Corsair is a better deal, I wouldn't hesitate to use that PSU either. You'd be saving money and the quality would be nothing to scough at. It's built by channelwell. This is the company that Corsair used which put them on the map as a PSU design company with the TX series. I had a TX950. Definitely a solid PSU.
