which PSU is better Corsair AX860, Corsair Rm850, EVGA supernova 850 for this build?

i7 4770k

Corsair H100i

Asus Maximus 6 formula

Corsair Obsidian Series 650D

SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit - OEM

CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9

ASUS GTX770-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 770 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
 
I'd put the AX860 and the Supernova in the same boat, extreme high quality. I'd take whichever is cheaper.

The AX has 71A on the +12 rail and a 7 year warranty, platinum efficiency.
The supernova has 70.8A on the +12v rail and a 10 year warranty, gold efficiency

The AX is made by Seasonic and the Supernova is made by Super Flower. Probably the top two PSU makers in the business.

Well, these are serious units! I did not quite understand: you plan to SLI your 770 later on or have you got 2 already? Because if you plan to stay with one 770, those PSUs are way too powerfull, whatever your OC on the processor...

I would go for a gold or platinum rated 550-650 Model with modular cabling. I am not enough of an expert to tell you which, but they are great models by Superflower, Corsair...
I love fanless PSUs and you could also go with silverstone nightjar platinum 520W... But I am over-sensitive to noise, which maybe is not your case!

sorry my bad i thought it was seasonic but super flower is pretty much the same level but still very good deal with $30 rebate
