What is a better power supply? Or are they about the same?

XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply

Or this Corsair Builder 500W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply?

This will all work together right? Hopefully im not missing anything important.

Also could someone recommend a good Model of the Gtx 760?

Thanks for the assistance guys/gals.

Everything looks great, but yea, you can downgrade with your CPU and upgrade your GPU to 770. And I prefer the XFX PSU, they have a more reputable track record. I'm not saying Corsair doesn't, they're also good. GTX 760 of MSI is good, windforce will keep your GPU cool. :D
