Neither is a good PSU. Check out the PSU whitelist in my signature.

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

there are other options but bit more expensive for i give  u list and u tell me which one i get ok ? would really appreciate it:D

OK, but keep in mind if you're spending as much as you are on a CPU and GPU you don't get to skimp on the PSU. You can't allot all your money to the CPU and GPU and cross your fingers that a PSU that won't explode on your will somehow fit in your budget.
