I'm buying a new PSU.
Stucked between Cooler Master V700, Seasonic X750 and Corsair AX760.

All three have same KM3 platform.

Cooler Master have Protechnic FDB (fluid bearing) fan.
Seasonic and Corsair have same ball bearing Sanyo Denki fan.

Prices are very similiar in my area for all.

Also wondering buy 850W versions.
But don't know if it is wirth to pay little more for the stronger PSU into the future?
Which fan is better (better quality, last longer and less noisier) - Protechnic or Sanyo Denki?

My rig is:
i5-4670K overclocked
Sapphire Tri-X R9 290
2x8GB RAM
2x WD Caviar Black
3x 140mm case fan
 
With your specs I see no need to go higher than 750watts and really you can not go wrong with any of those PSU's. I have not seen fan noise comparison and my guess is that the fans installed will outlast the units. Basically buy the cheapest or the one that looks best to you or just toss a coin!

Will your case and motherboard support a Crossfire setup of 290X's in the future?
- if so get a 1000watt unit....

If Not, or you can't dream of that happen
- the 750watt is plenty....

No need to dissect those supplies down to the fan suppliers, the manufacturers have built 'em with high quality components....

Do you think Cooler Master V is better than Seasonic X?
You have two 290 in Crossfire on 850W supply?


Yes, I'm owning Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 motherboard.
But now I'm not planning to do a Crossfire, because of money :)

Do you think 700W is also enough for a single Sapphire Tri-X 290 ?

Corsair AXs are good, Cooler master Vs are better, Seasonic X are the best. Only in my opinion. But in general, these PSUs are quite the same when comes on performance. Just get the cheapest of those PSUs.
