Corsair HX series and above are the best quality. The others I'm not so sure about. It would be best to go modular anyway for your sanity's sake. |
So a Corsair CX 750M, you think is too bad quality?
WHat's the difference really? Is the quality of components, but what does that mean in practice? Longer life?
What do you mean "best to go modular anyway". Modular with what? RAM memory?

I just looked up a review of the little brother of your PSU. It actually looks really good for the money.

I believe the CX series only come with 2 year warranties whereas the HX series (the only ones I use) come with 5 year warranties. So yeah, the components are better. If you're looking to go crossfire in future with the 290s in I would definitely recommend a HX series or above as they will defintely deliver the wattage promised.
Also, I just realised that the 'M' in CX 750M stands for modular. That's what I was referring to. You don't to be fiddling around with any cables you don't need.
Overall I would say the PSU looks good for 1 R9 290, but 2 might be pushing it. I personally wouldn't risk almost $1000 worth of GPUs on anything less than a HX series, but it's your call.

Cool. I didn't know about the modular PSU stuff. I like convenient and easy to use parts. So the PSU I listed is modular?
Corsair CX 750M, 750W PSU

Yeah if Corsair see fit to provide 4 x 6+2pin connectors, then I'm sure the PSU can handle 2 high end video cards. You'll be fine. Oh and make sure you get some 290s with non-reference coolers (Twin-Frozr, Windforce etc). The stock ones are ridiculously hot and noisy.
