Either is fine. A 750W would be also ok.
XFX and Seasonic are good brands.
Other alternatives are EVGA G2 750W

Get the Seasonic power supply, 850w will be plenty, that powersupply is renound.

Suztera :

I own the Evga G2 850w and it is great, another alternative option.

Also, if you have not got the rest of the system, get the i5-4670k instead, so you can overclock in the future.

Edit: get a ssd!

Even though this is bronze and the other is gold?.

Suztera · Dec 3, 2014

Moody500 :

If it is the same price, go with XFX one as their OEM is essentially Seasonic.

Suztera :

You dont think 2gtx 970 with 750W Is cutting it close?.

Moody500 · Dec 3, 2014

Suztera :

They are almost the price.So what i understand is that their almost the same right?.

Moody500 · Dec 3, 2014

Thanks for the response from both of you.

Suztera · Dec 3, 2014

Moody500 :

No, there is plenty of headroom with 750W.

Moody500 · Dec 3, 2014

Sorry last question,if i get the XFX gold that means i get higher efficiency than the seasonic bronze 87% and 81% respectively so its better to go the XFX right and does it matter in the electricity bill?.

Moody500 :

It would be more efficient in converting AC to DC. It will reduce your electricity cost but unless you paying a premium price, bronze is fine.
