so xfx makes good power supplies?
 


XFX doesn't make the power supplies themselves. They outsource it to Seasonic. Seasonic is one of the best power supply manufacturers in the world.
 
For a system using a single NVIDIA Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 graphics card NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 30 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors. Some of the non-Reference Design GeForce GTX 760 cards have a single 8-pin (e.g. ASUS GTX 760 DirectCU II OC) or two 8-pin (e.g. MSI GTX 760 HAWK) or one 6-pin and one 8-pin (e.g. Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC, EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ACX Cooler, MSI GTX 760 TwinFrozr Gaming) PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most critical factor.

If you want a PSU with semi-modular output cables:

Seasonic G-550 (SSR-550RM Active PFC F3)
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 45 Amps
• two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors
• Haswell Compatible: Yes
• 80 PLUS GOLD Efficiency Certification
• 5 Year Limited Warranty
