i'm planning to make a gaming computer,but i'm undecided which power supply i should choose. i'm undecided between these:

http://www.amazon.com/XFX-PRO750W-Edition-Bronze-Certified/dp/B0045L4BJ6/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397327501&sr=8-2&keywords=xfx+pro+750

Here's my build:
-CPU Intel Core i7 4770k Haswell
-Motherboard Asus Maximus VI Hero
-RAM Corsair Vengenace (2x4 gb) 1600 mhz CL9
-CPU cooler Cooler Master Hyper212EVO (but i'll probably switch to some water cooling system)
-Western Digital Caviar Black 1tb (WD1003FZEX)
-LG Blu Ray (BH16NS40 )
-SSD Corsair Force Series 60 gb
-Case Cooler Master Scout II Advanced

Exactly. You could get away with a 300W PSU with the parts you currently listed, but as soon as you add a GPU, that number will increase significantly.

Regardless, that 750W XFX would be great as it would also allow you to SLI GPUs in the future, while maintaining reliability and low cost.

There's also this Fully Modular, 750W, Gold Efficiency XFX PSU
Amazing deal, amazing power supply. It's what I would get.

As tiny voices and DonQuixoteMC said, what's your GPU?

Out of those PSUs, the SeaSonic SS-750KM3 is the best since the best quality PSUs are made by Seasonic (the XFX is also made by them). The reason I chose that is the 80+ Gold rating it has while the others are less efficient and only have 80+ Bronze ratings.

okay,but,what will be the benefits? giving an oversight in the budget,i'm more favorable to XFX,but will it be good? i read that it's a great PSU,but i'd like to hear if it's ok. i've read on some other site that after some time they start to make noises because of the economics fan that it has. so i'm not sure about it,maybe if i know more about the list i have,i can choose better

If you are, you'll need a GPU. Haswell has a better integrated GPU than previous generations, but it still can't hold a candle to even a budget dedicated card. Are you thinking of adding a GPU? If so, how much room do you have left in your budget?

If anything, get the Fully Modular, 750W, Gold Efficiency XFX PSU and a GTX 760 to keep a slightly balanced build. Drop to a 4670K if you need more room in your budget.

I can't make any accurate recommendations without knowing a budget.
