Looking for a suitable PSU for this build

[etekiller]

Hello, I decided to buy a new PC and got great feedback here about the parts. What I've chosen is this:

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 3.4GHz LGA 1150 BOX
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970, 4GB GDDR5/256-bit
RAM: G.Skill DDR3 8GB(2x4GB) RipjawsX 1600MHz CL7 (F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
Case: SilentiumPC Brutus M25 Pure Black BT-M25 (SPC106)

Now I need a suitable PSU. I used an online calculator and checked that this rig needs 400W of power. I wanted to give it a little bit of backup and decided on a 600W PSU. Now, the problem is - which model should I choose?

My first choice is: Corsair Builder Series CX 600W 80 + Bronze Modular - CP-9020060-EU.

Could you please review my PSU choice and suggest any changes if necessary? I need the PSU to be in a very similar price point as I've already decided on expensive parts.

I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

Go with the xfx 550 or maybe the evga 600b (xfx is the best quality but the evga is still better than a corsair CX)

The Corsair CX is bad....just bad. The part number you listed ends in EU so I'm assuming you are in Europe. Look for a Super Flower unit at your price point.

In the shop I am buying my parts from it's titled XFX Pro Series TS550W 120mm 80 + (P1-550S-XXB9) and is cheaper than the one I selected. Is this the model?

^ yes - good PSU ,plenty of power for your build & far better quality than the corsair.

Yes, I am in Europe, Poland. I've found this:
Super Flower Amazon 80Plus Bronze - 550W (SF-550P14HE)

Is this of better quality than the XFX suggested earlier?

Thank you, I am scratching the Corsair out and putting your suggestion as a high priority.

XFX is made by Seasonic. Seasonic and Super Flower are the top 2 PSU makers. Pick the one you can get the best deal on.

^ whs - if the superflower is a similar price its slightly better quality - the xfx is still excellent though - I would not pay a big premium for the super flower one.

Thank you friends, I ordered the XFX.
