Got this from another thread:

Toughpower Grand (Platinum): 600W, 700W
Toughpower Grand (Gold): 650W, 750W, 850W, 1050W, 1200W
Toughpower XT: 1275W, 1375W, 1475W
Toughpower: 750W, 850W, 1000W, 1200W, 1500W
Evo_Blue 2.0: 650W, 750W, 850W
Smart M: 750W, 850W

Only these models from Tt are haswell ready according to the manufacturers.

For the complete list, see the second answer : http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1778552/haswell-ready-psu.html

Thank you, I've seen the same list but it also says at the start of that list that most PSUs will support haswell. It seems almost like "Haswell ready" is a marketing term.

I'm still wondering if it supports it or not, hmmmm

No, it doesn't. You could still get it, but you could save some energy by getting one that is Haswell ready.

i'm not coming from the us, so i don't know about any alternative psu's for the same price, but as you may have heard, Seasonic, Antec and FSP are the brands to go by.

First:
http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

Second:
For PC, the Intel deep slumber modes are not really interesting. Those play bigger role on laptops, tablet, etc.

Third:
non-Hasswell-ready PSUs can power the Haswell without problems, they just can not support the deep slumber mode. Just deactivate these deep slumber modes in BIOS if you have such PSU.

Last but not least,
almost all new high quality PSUs support Haswell already

Any standard psu will work, meaning it doesn't have to be haswell compliant. Just enter the bios and make sure the low power states or sleep states c6/c7 are disabled. They usually are by default anyway. If left enabled on a haswell system with a psu that isn't compliant, it will go into the sleep state but be unable to come back out of it and you'll have to do a cold boot to restart the system. That's the only reason for it and as already mentioned, more or less for mobile devices rather than a huge concern for desktops. Beyond those deeper sleep states supported by haswell cpu's, there's nothing keeping a standard psu from running a haswell or devil's canyon chip.
