nope

 

the i PSUs are just if you want to control the fan speed and power rails of the PSU, nothing else.

so that is one for the psu its self and not the h100i and the dans the come with it or the better one you can buy for it? so i should be able to monitor the temps and change the fan curves and fans speed for the h100i and the fans?

760 is even a little overkill for one GPU but it does give you the upgrade room.

EVGA G2 PSUs are great, but idk if they are platinum, you will have to check

As I had stated in your other thread(s), all the "i" denotes is that unit can be used with Corsair Link. You are NOT require to get a "i" series PSU in order to used Link with your H100i.

 

I had recommended the EVGA Supernova 750/850 G2 for your system. The Antec High Current Pro 750w Platinum may be an option as well.
