RM Series is decent, but the performance is unimpressive, the secondary capacitors are crap, and they're generally overpriced.

The enermax unit has unimpressive capacitors throughout. 80Plus Gold certified like the RM750. It's an "ok" and "middle of the road" unit, as described in the HardOCP review of it.

Chieftec: I found a german review. I take "sondern größtenteils chinesische CapXon und vereinzelt Taicon und Samxon" to mean the unit uses Capxon, Samxon and Taicon capacitors, which is unimpressive. 

 

The Chieftec and Enermax units remind me of the RM Series. They're all unimpressive with crappy capacitors. The fact that they're 80Plus Gold Certified indicates that they aren't terrible, but you could probably get more for your money.

 

What are your components, where are you, what is your budget, what is your preferred retailer?

 

You don't need anywhere near 700W for a 760. They use about 190W. 500W for that system is easily fine. You said you do want to upgrade though, so are you thinking of adding another 760?

Also, do you really want that RAM? It's 2400MHz, and so is probably more expensive than 1333MHz or 1600MHz RAM, and won't give you any noticeable benefit.

I don't know where you're buying from, so I don't know the prices for each of the 3 choices. I also can't give any other suggestions within your budget without your preferred retailer.

I guess of the 3 I would go with the RM750, just because I'm more familiar with the RM Series than the other two units. If you aren't going to be adding another GTX 760 or other upgrades, you could do with an RM450 or RM550.
