I have used that PSU and personally it is excellent for budget purposes, but generally is not recommended for gaming rigs unless your budget is thin. However I have used it for years and it has served me well. It would be classed as a Tier 4 PSU.
On an alternative note, if budget is not an option, the Corsair RM series are much more effective. You would look at this list, and aim for as high a tier as you can, that's also within budget: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

depends what your running, I use CX750 750w for about 4 years on my system without an issue
purist will preach to you, your system needs the best of the best to make sure the PSu will not take out your system
Corsair a good brand.

There are two versions of the Corsair CX750M (both having the same product code "CP-9020061").
The older one, made before 2015 by CWT based on their DSAll series, is the one with the green labelling and is deemed to be of mediocre-poor quality (30C rated oper. temps, mediocre capacitors, 3-year warranty)
The newer 2015 version (sometimes sold as "CX750M v2"), made by CWT based on their PUQ-B series, is the one with the gray labelling and is an upgraded/better quality version than the unit it replaced (40C rated oper. temps, better caps, 5-year warranty)
If you are choosing between the two, make sure you get the 2015 gray-labelled version.
However, in order for us to give some alternatives, the first thing to consider is: "do you really need 750W?"
Such 750W-PSU is necessary if you are thinking about SLI'ing (such as 2-way GTX 1080s or GTX 980s or GTX 1070s or GTX 970s). If your rig only consists of a single powerful GPU, a good quality 550W would more than suffice (or a 650W for a GTX 1080 Ti).
Much better quality models than the Corsair CX-M 2015 series are the Corsair RMx and RMi series, Seasonic G or X series, and EVGA SuperNova G2 or G3 series.

Agreed, if you are running a "normal" CPU and GPU, a good 550W is all you need.

Here is the Corsair with the black/grey label. $80 shipped.

Here is the Corsair TX550m for $53 shipped. This is nearly $30 cheaper (after rebate.) and a step up in efficiency. Didn't find a review on this one, but the 750W unit got passing grades from KG.

Just because a PSU has a lot of wattage doesn't mean it's a high quality unit. Or that it's a good fit for your system. Unless you really need 750W or you already have that PSU I'd change your PSU.
