hi i'm looking to build my first computer but i don't know which cpu i should get, the i5 4690k is £185 and the i5 4670k is £160. Is it worth the extra £25? I have a MSI Z97 gaming 5 motherboard. Please Help!!

I've heard there's issus with the build quality of the RM series. Not sure if they fixed it yet though. Not terrible quality, but not the best. A good 650W will do for any single GPU system, and 850W is a good number for a dual GPU system.
You'll want XFX, SeaSonic, EVGA (some of them), Antec HCG, or Corsair AX/HX/TX.

You can also consult that list. You'll see the RM750 is a Tier 3 PSU.

The reason i chose the 750W is because it costs just a bit more than the 650W plus i am looking for a PSU that is really quiet. Any ideas ?

Actually, judging by that list, the RM750 you chose would be the quietest. Whether or not you use the RM750 is up to you. It's not a terrible PSU, but it's not great.
