im currently building a haswell i5 4670k procie with a z87 sabertooth motherboard, 8gb corsair vengeance pro series 1866 Mhz, kraken x60 AIO and a palit geforce gtx 780 super jetstream  videocard.

 

here in the philippines, a store here offered 50% off of a Corsair AX 1200 Gold PSU (NOT THE i VERSION), and he also have in stored are Seasonic x750 and x850w.

 

these are the prices:

 

Corsair AX 1200 = roughly $187 

Seasonic x750   =  roughly $170

Seasonic x850  =   roughly $193

 

i know its way to overkill if i choose Corsair AX 1200 on my system but who knows, i might be going into 780 sli in the future..and also it got a lot of headroom for overclocking and upgrading.

 

so please help me decide.. thank you

The 750w is plenty, even if you want to go SLI. The 1200w would be for something like quad SLI or some crazy setup, which your current parts don't even support.

The new haswells don't take a lot of volts. I would go for the Seasonic x750 its nicely modular 80plus gold and its the chepest you have listed there. As mcuh as i would say go for the Corsair 1200w ( I have the ax860 ) its just way to over kill. 

Asus Maximus VI Hero , i5 4670k , 8gb Corsair vengeance ddr3, Asus HD 7970 matrix platinum, Corsair AX860, Ocz agility 3 120gb ssd, 1tb wd green hdd, custom water loop. All in an Antec p280

they got a Corsair AX 750 on sale also

 

im diggin the AX 1200.. its really a steal!

 

Go for the AX 750 then. That'll be cheaper and if you decide to go SLI in the feature, it will handle it fine with room for water cooling and overclocking.
