Have £130 to spend on a PSU, what's the best I can get for around that price? The Corsair AX-750 or Seasonic X-Series 760w?

I'm facing the same decision atm. The seasonic is meant to be the better unit, but the corsair is a bit cheaper, and you can get these nice braided cable kits for it.
 
So a split decision so far. I thought the X-760 was best as it uses a newer design, the x-750 is what the AX750 is based on. I'm not sure about what other brands have to offer for this price.

Yeah obviously but reviews like this put me off:

I bought this power supply few weeks back to power 580 SLI and some heavy stuff. First thing I noticed when I connected the power cable was that the whole group in my room shut down!!!!!!

So I had to go downstairs turn that on, that was really a terrible thing, the whole power group in my room was totally off. ROFL!
I don't know who's idea a non-power switch was but that must be one of the dumbest persons ever!

I would never buy again a power supply without a power switch!
you can turn off your pc by holding the power button though.

I might just go with the X-560. Jonnyguru scored it a 10 on performance and 9 overall.

If the X850 is anything to go by, Kitguru managed to put 1000w through it before it powered off. The threshold on the 760w will be the same, i'd imagine its a 850w, 900w psu. It's far quieter than the rest of the those psu's as well..

True, for the £20 difference I may as well get the 760 for future proofing.

I've also been looking at super flower golden king. Seems excellent.

I wouldn't have thought so, these new Seasonic X ranges are their best offerings, i think they keep them back from 3rd party re-branders.
