Hello there. Once again I am in need of help with another pc part. This time I'm debating which psu is the best for my system
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1TMzt
(I converted my local currency to dollars. I live in the Philippines)
I want a psu to be as silent as can be, efficient, and will last for a long time (5-7 years maybe?) I am now left with these 4 decisions
Antec PSU
Corsair PSU
Seasonic PSU
XFX PSU
I also heard that Seasonic makes the power supplies for both Corsair and XFX, but I just wanna know how which one's the best. Plus, they're all within budget range (though the Corsair is the most expensive) which makes it even tougher to decide.
Any help will be well appreciated.

Of the 4 choices I would go with the Corsair. The XFX would be my last choice. But any of the 4 would do the job.

antec , seasonic and xfx models that you have selected are all made by seasonic and are internally more or less the same (same platform)
all of them are good quality units but for that price and limited selection on those websites i would go with newer design from seasonic:

Is 550 watts enough to power my system quietly? Would it have enough headroom?

XFX = Seasonic

I'd suggest XFX or Seasonic since they are the same , my last choice would be Corsair.
