To be honest, none.
Both of those PSUs are not suitable for a gaming rig, esp. in terms of quality and efficiency.
The Gigabyte Superb 720 is actually a 610W PSU and not a "720W" PSU, as marketing claims it to be. This is already an indication to fool buyers thinking it can provide "720W" but it cannot. The Superb 720 (model no: GE-P610A-C2) is rated as a 610W PSU but can only provide 504W at the +12V rail. It is made by AcBel Polytech and is already discontinued.
The Corsair VS650 (model no: CP-9020051) is a 650W PSU but only provides 600W at the +12V rail. It is made by CWT, and like the Superb 720, it is already discontinued.
So, both of those PSUs, I wouldn't personally use nor recommend.
If you can provide a budget and the location/store you will purchase from, as well as your specs (CPU esp.) we can recommend better PSU alternatives.

Hi, thanks for you answer. And i can't buy another psu. I live in village and here in the shop, i can buy one of them :/ Other power supplies is 300-400w made in china. yesterday i read a lot of reviews about corsair vs650, people don't like it. But about superb 720w i cant find any reviews. I want to know which one best for me, for now?

As I mentioned, the Corsair VS650 (600W at +12V rail) has the edge if compared to the Gigabyte Superb 720 (504W at +12V rail). Both are not good though and both are already discontinued models, so, it's a risk I personally wouldn't even consider taking.

i7-690 can draw ~100W to ~130W at +12V. GTX 780 can draw ~250W to ~300W at +12V. Other components in your system (Motherboard, RAM, HDDs, SSDs, and Fans) can range around ~70W to ~100W at +12V. So, estimated total draw at +12V rail can be around ~420W (~35A) to ~530W (~44A).
The Superb720, which provides only 504W (~42A) at +12V, would be close to the rated limit and will be considered inefficient and risky for that system of yours. The Corsair VS650, providing 600W (50A) at +12V, will be better in terms of ample wattage and efficiency compared to the Superb720. However, again, both PSU's are not good-quality models. So, though it may power your rig now, you don't know how long will it last or will it be reliable and safe for your other components.
