Ooops Didn't read correctly. Yes 850w will be enough for both but it depends on your other components. E.G Harddrive fans CPU. And it has to be a good quality power supply with a big 12v rail.

This one is cheaper, not sure if there's any advantage in having the AX over it?

Not a big advantage, the AX has a Gold 80+ rating, whereas the HX has a Silver one

They're both way good enough, I'd save the money.

I would spend the extra $36 for a completely modular PSU. The HX if I'm not mistaken is only partially modular?
