ummm yeah. the one i linked is the black but they are all the same really. keep in mind you can go much smaller watt if you would like. i linked that one because in the states it is really cheap right now. but anything corsair, XFX, seasonic, antec or even EVGA that is 80+gold and over 550 watts will be perfect. although i personaly would go at least 600w for comfort since you will be overclocking but the one you origionaly posted will do. If everything 80+gold is over your budget you can go 80+bronze if need be but don't stray from the brands i mentioned
Uhmm is that the same with this one? http://dynaquestpc.com/product/xfx-proseries-750w-xxx-edition-semi-modular-psu/

Thanks for your fast reply MalakiArtook.
 
I notice that you originally wanted a Seasonic, which is good news. I prefer to only use seasonic in all my builds. Seasonic is an the OEM Power Supply brand, and XFX is simply a rebranding, so you are getting very similar quality usually at a better price point.

good luck!
