The RM unit has a lower rated wattage, it's fully modular, and uses higher quality components. It has higher efficiency and a longer warranty.

Didn't know you could get a RM series for that price, learn something new everyday.

A 750w CX defeats the purpose kinda like the 4gb hrs 960s

The RMx is vastly superior.

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

is it better to get that instead?

Well, first what is the system it will be powering?

well, im running a 4790k, asus z97a, samsung ssd, 750gb hdd, either a 970 or 960 graphics card and a stock cooler 

Any reason you're going with the 4790K?

KK. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

BTW, the RM unit they were talking about was not the standard yellow and black Corsair RM, but the Corsair RMx that you linked.
