I would recommend searching for those PSUs on http://www.jonnyguru.com/ or otherwise searching the forums there. It's really the most thorough and reliable source on PSUs online, especially from a quality perspective. It's worth keeping in mind that even across brands (Corsair, EVGA etc.) quality can vary greatly across product lines, and furthermore, brands themselves use different PSU OEMS, or the actual manufacturer of the PSU (SeaSonic, HEC etc.).

Just a quick Google search on the EVGA PSU brought me this: http://www.overclock.net/t/1500086/why-you-should-not-buy-an-evga-400-600-and-500b-600b - although you don't mention an actual model number. Take it with a grain of salt of course but there's good info out there.

all of those are fine, 500w is still going to be over kill for that combo you have you shouldn't hardly ever press 385W that is typical of that combo

if you want future upgradability such as to SLI that 970 sometime down the road, go with the coolermaster 750 as it will have the 4 6+2 pin PCIE connections on it whereas the other 3 only have 2, just enough for your 970 only

the effciency of the coolermaster isn't as good the closer you get over 80% load, but your cpu and 2x970's in sli should hardly ever top out at over 550w

the majority of those i ask seem to preffer the cooler master g750m, and since this psu is 750w ill go for an r9 390 since it seems to be the better choice.
So finally i have decided on my first gaming rig ever , here have a look (took me weeks to decide lol)



CPU: i5 4460
Motherboard: ASRock B85M HDS
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury 8 Go DDR3 1866 MHz CL10
Storage: 1TB Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 SATA 6Gb/s
Video Card: Sapphire R9 390 Nitro Tri-X OC 8GB GDDR5
Case: Talius Drakko (w/2fans)
Power Supply: Cooler Master G750M 80PLUS Bronze Modulaire

OS: Windows 10 (i guess, still dont know for sure)



Monitor: Asus vx239h 23" ips



would have loved to get the seasonic s12II 620w 80+Bronze or the Antec HGC 620w 80+ but i was told it would take way too long to bring it to the country.



Anyway thanks everyone for helping.

Anything other than these will need weeks to get shipped to where i live ( Morocco ) and thats if its available, can't wait that long and since the service here aint great, if i need to return it for whatever reason i'll have to wait months lol.
