The XFX 550W would do the job.

Don't by xfx my friends one broke a few weeks ago and they refused him warranty and they refused warranty on my graphics card last year.

If you plan on high overclocks I would get a 600w decent brand psu.
If moderate overclocks then that 520w antec or similar should do nicely.

I was doing some research and seems both psu are the same but branded sea sonic psus

Yep cant really go wrong as said the xfx is a re-branded seasonic . Running the 550 here

 

[seanpr92]

Is there really much difference between 30watts both have 40a on 12v rail as said its for a systemrunning single card no fancy crossfire just bog standard 16gb ram 1tb hdd and DVD couple of led fans

 

[scotsdragon]

XFX are a "decent" brand , They are basically Seasonics inside

Maybe you misread me, I know that xfx are decent psu's

But xfx are really bad at honoring warranty

Specs for the card list Minimum of a 500 Watt power supply. I would go no less than 550 on that especially if you have lots of HDDs/DVD Drives etc
