I will be getting the new haswell i5 and i may possibly SLI gfx cards in the future.

The computer will be used for gaming only. so I am looking for a good power supply to see me through.

I have been looking at the following PSU, but since finding out I don't need a haswell PSU am looking for more opinions and advice

I want to keep the cost down as much as possible.

Do you guys think its worth getting a haswell PSU, as is not much more. or just get a standard PSU

That XFX PSU will do fine.
