Hardware & Technical multirail or singlerail?

That all really depends on what those rails are going to be delivering current to.
If you have lots of devices all over the shop (RAID arrays, multi burners, SLI etc) then set it to even out load. If you just have the one GPU and a SSD and don't plan on adding much later, plop it to single and forget about it

Unless you know or can measure the load of each item, then put it to single rail. Because if you get it wrong just when things get interesting you could overload one of the rails using the muti-rail option leading to all sorts of shut-downs and frustration and you will probably never find out what caused it.
If you were to ask "Should I buy multi or single rail PSU", I would always without hesitation, say "Single Rail".

If the Corsair RM650i was even capable of a true multi-rail mode, that wouldn't balance the load, rather it would isolate some rails from others. More likely than not, "multi-rail mode" simply caps the current output of certain plugs/strands.
Well, when most consumer PSU's have only one mains supply (and there's only one PSU in the first place) - the whole "multi-rail" thing becomes pretty meaningless anyway
