I am deciding between
Corsair CX600 600W (120 mm fan, 46 A on 12V rails)
and
Antec HCG-520 520W (135 mm fan, 40A on 12V rails)
They both cost 67€ (I am from Europe, Slovenia). I'm choosing a PSU for my first build and wouldn't like to spend more than 70€ on it.
Specs (no OCing):
- Intel i7-3770
- Asrock B75 PRO3-M
- 2 x 8GB RAM Crucial Ballistix Sport
- Gigabyte Geforce GTX 660, 2GB (maybe a newer card after 3-4 years)
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB, 7200 rpm (+ around 120 SSD disk in the future)
- Mouse, keyboard, speakers (not power-hungry)
If there could be any issues with compatibility between other parts of this build please tell me and recommend if there is any better part in this price range that would be compatible.

Thank you for respose
I'm deciding now mainly between XFX model that iceclock recommended and Corsair CX600, because they have more amps on 12V rails, which is important if I buy more power-hungry graphic card in the future. Is there difference between these 2 models in noise?
It seems XFX has 5 year warranty if I register my PSU at their website when I buy it and Corsair has only 3 year warranty. So I suppose XFX is a better choice.

Can somebody tell me if these parts I have selected above will fit together without any complications? My biggest fear is to buy them and find out they are not compatible. :S
Another thing, does this RAM (2 x 8GB RAM Crucial Ballistix Sport ) support XMP and is XMP smart to use, will I feel any performance boost, especially while gaming?
