KK so i am going to build a pc but i dont know which psu i should choose.

1: CORSAIR RM750x 750W PSU ATX 12V v2.4, 80 Plus Gold, Modular

2: Corsair CX 750M, 750W PSU ATX 12V V2.3, 80 Plus Bronze, Modular

Inn my country and thats Norway the price difference is 300 kr and that would be about 36 USD.
Its not a huge price difference but i am in a budget so ye.

Heres my pc parts:
CPU: Intel Core-i7-4790k 4.0Ghz Quad-Core Processor
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
Motherboard: MSI Z97-GAMING 5 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage:
Kingston SSDNow V300 Series 120GB 2.5” Solid State Drive
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5” 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Home OEM (64-bit)

And btw i may add another MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card (After 1-2 years) so is 750 watts even enough?

Go with the RM, RM is middle quality. Stay away from the CX unless you're on a strict budget.

Don't believe me?

Corsair RM 750W Review

Different sites, but both are reputable and have similar rating systems. Now if I were you, I'd avoid both of these and pick up an EVGA G2 for solid quality, or even a Rosewill Photon 750 (I recommend because I run one in my system, which I overclocked the CPU a lot), but it's totally up to you, just like I said, try to avoid the CX series. Remember, try to spend lots of money on a solid power supply
