Either will be fine... but I believe the GS is slightly higher class than the CX.

The GS can handle 8A (96W) more on the 12v rail than the CX. The GS is also rated for 600W @ 40C, the CX is 600W at 30C.

The M12II 620 and GS600 look almost identical based on the specs.

thanks for the suggestions guys, i will be getting the seasonic psu because of its modular features... the GS600 has a blue led(which i think he will like it) but meh its just lights, modular is way better i think...

You could run that build on a 300w unit without OCing. Either of those would be more than enough.

Lol, I read this a bit late, but yeah, I'd have said to go with the Seasonic also.
