Hello guys! I'm buying components for a substantial PC upgrade, and I found this particular PSU that seems very appealing to me, though being quite recent, it lacks feedbacks and experience on the web. I'd like to hear more from you about this unit, particularly if you think it would fit my needs:

I'm buying an i5-4670K CPU, a Gigabyte Z87X-UD3H and low profile corsair 2x4GB of RAM and a GTX 770 as a gpu. I was going to buy an XFX 650W Core Edition before finding out that there are pretty affordable 80+ Gold units around. I care about longevity and I am afraid to damage components with low-quality PSU. If that matters, I have a top-mounted PSU case.

I must specify that I live in italy, so the only e-stores I can buy from are italian amazon and e-key.it, another italian store I trust.
Here you can find all the 80+G PSUs that italian store has; if you want to sort them by price, click "Descrizione prodotto" and change it to "Prezzo prodotto crescente".

I really need your help, so please give me your opinions!! Thanks for reading!

Any other reason apart from the brand? The V550 is made by Enhance Electronics which I've read makes great PSUs, many on the same level as SeaSonic...
I'd like to know if the xfx is good enough to last long and if it won't put a strain on my components. I've got an old CM mystique 631 case, which has a top psu mount. Do I risk to damage my components with that configuration?
