PSU doesn't depend on your Bronze/Gold/Platinum. They depends mostly on capasitor Quality.
Thermaltake XT(platinum), Evga NexG(gold) both of them Crap.

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
The PSU I reccomend is a very good quality PSU and it is built by Seasonic.
Plus I choose 650w over 550 because of R9 380 (much better than 960) & later even if he upgrade to gtx 980Ti, this PSU will not need to be replaced.

So Do some proper study before Criticising others.

So what it's tier 2 bronze? Gold means better PSU efficiency!

that EVGA you call shit G2 is OEM super flower and GS is OEM Seasonic. Antec are mostly OEM Enhance/Seasonic.

Evga G2/S2 as well as that seasonic i recommend has same good capacitors. if you're going for 980Ti a proper 550W psu is also enough.

R9 380 is not much better than GTX 960 - starting with drivers, also - TDP.

* I think I mentioned EVGA NEXG not G2 or GS or S2. So do a proper Read before elaborating yourself.

* For GTX 960 vs R9 380 read this: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2015-radeon-r9-380-2gb-4gb-review

* After the release of AMD 3XX series they have filled the gap of Driver Issues quite effectively [but not that much compared to Nvidia]. Because I own both R9 390 & GTX 750Ti for my both build.
