I would go with the Rosewill Hive since I heard that these psus are not bad. But the Coolermaster one has a 5 year warranty compared to 3 years on the Rosewill.

I used a Rosewill Hive 600w, and my only real gripes about it is that the fan is loud, and the cables are SHORT. Like really short. The PCIe cables couldn't reach behind the motherboard tray to the GPUs, and the 8-pin just barely made it. This was in a CM HAF 922, not the smallest case in the world, but certainly not large.

 

I'm not sure what all changes to the 750w, but that's just my input on the Hive lineup.

My Rig: MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming, Intel Core i5-3570k, Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7870x2, Asus Xonar DX, OCZ Fatal1ty 1000w, Samsung 840 Pro 128GB Boot drive, 2x Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD in Raid 1 w/ OCZ Vertex 3 60GB Cache

The GX2 is new PSU line from Cooler Master. So whether it is good or bad, I'm not sure and there aren't any reviews regarding it. I believe this line is made with the new PSU team that CM has (I could be mistaken), so it may not necessary be a bad PSU. I mean they did just recently release the excellent V series.

 

Regarding the ATNG build GX Lite being the worse iteration of the GX series, there isn't any reviews on it either; however, it is speculated to be better than the Seventeam and Enhanced versions.

 

Nonetheless, until there's a proper review on it (or I do more research on what platform that it may be build off of), I would go with the HIVE 750w.
