I have to say I'm actually afraid of disagreeing with a MOD but, Seasonic? Seriously? There's a reason that PSU is only 56$.

Zeeerf just take a look a some customer reviews before chosing one of these two and you'll be fine.

The CX series can't compare to this quality unit.

Seasonic is #1 in PSU quality and reliability.

For a system using a single 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 GeForce GTX 760 cards have a single 8-pin or two 8-pin or one 6-pin and one 8-pin 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) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

Haswell compatible PSUs:

Seasonic G-550 (SSR-550RM) semi-modular output cables
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 45 Amps
• two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors
• 80 PLUS GOLD Efficiency Certification
• 5 Year Limited Warranty

Seasonic S12G-550 (SSR-550RT) non-modular output cables
• maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 45 Amps
• two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors
• 80 PLUS GOLD Efficiency Certification
• 5 Year Limited Warranty
• Link: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

The reason why Corsair CX Series PSUs only have a 3 Year Warranty is because of the cheap components used in its construction. These PSUs are only rated to deliver their full power in an ambient temperature up to 30°C.
