Out of the listed the Corsair TX but all are overkill since a quality 500-550watt will handle it fine.

I am struggling to choose which one - maybe the 650W Corsair TX V2?

XFX is made by Seasonic. Very highly rated. As you can see, it runs the 8350 and 7870, both overclocked, no problem.

But, the Corsair TX is a quality PSU as well. You can't go wrong with either.

No reason to go higher, 650 quality watts will probably drive two 7870 in CF.

Very true. If you're not contemplating adding a second GPU later down the road then the 650 is probably overkill.
