The Cosair VS650W is a 240 Volt Power Supply where as the Cosair RM650W is a 120 Volt Power Supply. The 120V is your standard three prong outlet that you would plug maybe a vacuum cleaner in or a power strip into. The 240 is like the power cord off of a washer or dryer. So you would have to have a special plug for the 240V Power supply.

There really isn't a difference in efficiency. With the 240V you are capable of pulling a lot more power than just your standard 120V. However...since you are only wanting 650 Watts...there isn't a reason why you should use a 240V power supply. If you were wanting a 1300W + power supply...you would need a 240V Power Supply to be able to pull that amount of energy from the socket.

The Corsair VS Series is 220V ~ 240V AC Input Only. These are Corsair's entry-level line of 240 Volt power supplies meant for a home or office system with lower power demands. This series does not have any level of 80 PLUS efficiency certification and uses low quality components in its manufacturing.

The Corsair RM Series is universal 100V ~ 240V AC Input. These enthusiast power supplies are optimized for silence and have a higher electrical conversion efficiency (i.e. has 80 PLUS GOLD Certification). They also use a modern circuit design, have full modular output cables and use better quality components than the VS series.
