Hello, I decided to buy a new PC and got great feedback here about the parts. What I've chosen is this:

CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231v3 3.4GHz LGA 1150 BOX
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970, 4GB GDDR5/256-bit
RAM: G.Skill DDR3 8GB(2x4GB) RipjawsX 1600MHz CL7 (F3-12800CL7D-8GBXM)
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H
Case: SilentiumPC Brutus M25 Pure Black BT-M25 (SPC106)

Now I need a suitable PSU. I used an online calculator and checked that this rig needs 400W of power. I wanted to give it a little bit of backup and decided on a 600W PSU. Now, the problem is - which model should I choose?

My first choice is: Corsair Builder Series CX 600W 80 + Bronze Modular - CP-9020060-EU.

Could you please review my PSU choice and suggest any changes if necessary? I need the PSU to be in a very similar price point as I've already decided on expensive parts.

I'd appreciate any feedback. Thank you.

In the shop I am buying my parts from it's titled XFX Pro Series TS550W 120mm 80 + (P1-550S-XXB9) and is cheaper than the one I selected. Is this the model?

Yes, I am in Europe, Poland. I've found this:
Super Flower Amazon 80Plus Bronze - 550W (SF-550P14HE)

Is this of better quality than the XFX suggested earlier?

Thank you, I am scratching the Corsair out and putting your suggestion as a high priority.
