Hi,
Recently I bought a used pc with a dead power supply unit.
PC specs are:
1. Core i7 7700k
2. Asus Maximus ix Hero
3. G.SKILL Ripjaws v 16 GB(2x8)
4. Gigabyte GTX 980 Ti G1 Gaming
5. Corsair h80i liquid cooler
6. Seagate Skyhawk 2 Tb hard drive

So I look into for psu (750watt 80+ gold category) in my locale store, I found there are three power supply units are available:
1. Corsair RM750X with 10 years warranty, Price 9330 inr (146.86 usd)
2. Cooler Master v750 With 5 years gold guarantee(Really don't know what that means), Price 9150 inr(144.02 usd)
3. Antec EDGE 750 with 5 years warranty, Price 8550 inr (134.58 usd)

So please guys help me to choose among these three power supply units.

Thanks in Advance

Corsair would be your best bet in my opinion. While it costs more than the other options it’s warranty is twice as long as the others. JohnnyGuru gave it a 9.8 out of 10. If you’re unfamiliar with JohnnyGuru he’s the go-to guy for PSU reviews.

Antec: (JohnnyGuru did not review this but KitGuru did)

all you need is a 650w unit

either model choices 1 or 2 are great

Can I overclock(mainly CPU, maybe GPU) using 650w psu?

Those scorings (9.8 out of 10) are irrelevant unless they are contemporary, because their scoring standards change, and also a simple score (9.8) doesn't tell you much.

JonnyGURU isn't the reviewer and he doesn't review PSUs anymore. Reviewers on the jonnyguru site are Oklahoma Wolf and Tazz.

Their casual writing style and scoring technique may be attractive for the majority but really their tests don't go in depth. An example of a reviewer that does more in-depth testings and protection testings is Aris at Tomshardware and TechPowerUp.

Yes, easily. Also the better the PSU's voltage stability, the more you'll be able to overclock your CPU/GPU
