So i have read the opinions about corsair AX 760 W that it makes noise from the components (the mosquito effect) so i wonder about changing my PSU in my new rig plan to 

Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro P11 750 Watt or evga one but dont know which one i should or that be quiet PSU is good so here i am asking for advie :D. Bugdet is not much tight because i buy 1 or 2 parts every month (the gaming rig needs patience to complete ;P).

CPU i5 6600k 4,4Ghz , COOLER Dark Rock 3 from BQ, RAM 16 GB of ddr 4 2800MHz from corsair,

 PSU EVGA 750 W GOLD G2, MOBO Msi z170A Gaming M3, CASE NZXT H440 Black/Blue,

GPU Geforce GTX 980 Gigabyte G1 Gaming,

STORAGE 1 SSD Samsung 850 Evo 250 GB and 1 HDD 500GB WD, Windows 8.1.

Check with Corsair and see what they can do for you first, if you haven't done that yet

The Ax series is known to be more temperamental in terms of coil whine but it doesn't mean every unit will occur, I personally have one with no issues. However any PSU out there is susceptible to possibly having coil whine, it's a bit of a lottery, not to mention some units can cause certain combinations of components to whine or itself to whine.

The AX/AXi series are known for coil whine. If you're looking at something from Corsair then go with the RMx or RMi. They're tee best value Corsair offers. EVGA has the G2 and GS which are better value still.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Nah the way you wrote it was fine. I just misread it since it was so late and assumed you had the PSU.

I've used Seasonic and Evga PSUs in all of the builds I've done recently and they haven't had any issues at all and they're super quiet. Granted I used the gold rated ones, specifically.

Between the two the difference will not affect overclocking just the efficiency of the unit and your power bill, unless your power is exceedingly expensive in your area it's not much to worry about.

Theoretically yes but the extra costs associated with those units usually is not worth the little savings from the power bill.
