Hello, I have purchased all the components for the following build EXCEPT for the PSU:
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3lETS
My question is this:
Is there a good, quality PSU that will work for that build that is a bit cheaper? The PSU in that build I can't find less than $190-200. I know the build says it's less, but it isn't. I DO plan on crossfire in the future, also possibly adding 1-2 HDDs and/or a SSD. Possibly another optical drive and 2 case fans as well. Are any of these good:

Which one is the best for the money and best for my build? I want some future proofing and I don't want to compromise my system. Thanks!

All five of those power supplies are quite good. The only one i would skip is the OCZ since OCZ has been liquidated since producing that model, the only part of their business that lives on is their storage solutions that were acquired by toshiba, i don't know how well warranty support will work on that guy.

Three of those units are pretty much identical aside from stickers, the Corsair AX850(Gold) and the XFX 850(Gold) are both based off the Seasonic X series platform which makes their innards identical to the X850 in the second link. The Seasonic M12II was a pretty good platform with lots of units based off of it, but it is an older platform and if it is coming in at a similar price to X-Series based units i would pick one of the X-series units.
