The Seasonic. It is of better quality than those three PSUs.

Both of these are good choices , both will power your specs , the XFX is made by Seasonic , and is a better power supply.

Not true. An efficiency rating doesn't mean the overall quality is the best possible. I have an XFX 550W pro edition PSU, which is 80+ bronze and is made by Seasonic, the best PSU OEM bar none, while others like Cooler Master's GX 650 are also 80+ Bronze, but are truly terrible units. Some 80+ Gold units like Thortech's Thunderbolt are terrible as well, according to Tiny tom Logan's review - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCuKM6Ux4B4.

Don't listen to the guy in the store. It's quality that makes or breaks a PSU.

I think the OP is referring to Haswell C6/C7 power state compatibility and it wouldn't even be true for that either.

Any PSU that derives its minor rails (i.e. +3.3V & +5V) using DC-to-DC convertors should be Haswell compatible.

There are PSUs without any 80 PLUS certification that are Haswell compatible.

Fractal Design Integra R2 750W bronze 80+,
FSP Raider 750W bronze 80+.
XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze
corsair cx750

SO which one of this ? They all have 80+ and only for the FSP Fortron give me 5 years warranty? I will buy it from Bulgaria EU. But if the price is good i can get it from UK. I just want to have psu that will not change soon.

should i add more money for 80 + gold?

I m sorry if my English is not so good

The XFX 650W 80 PLUS Bronze is the only one in that list worth buying.
