They are essentially the same PSU, I would go with Corsair for the added warranty.

the AX psu dont have nearly as good of voltage ripple regulation/suppression as the HX series. So get a HX750 or HX850

For a 6970 with your rig a x650 will probably just manage, for lots of hdds and oc and 7970 get a x760 or 850 or.corsair equivalent.
