Quiet PSU to power this new system?

Hi all,

just after a bit of advice on a new PSU please for the following new system i'm building. Want it to be of a reasonable cost and also nice and quiet:

AMD Kaveri 7700K APU w/ Radeon R7 Graphics
MSI A88X-G45 Gaming AMD A88X (Socket FM2+) ATX Motherboard
NVIDIA GTX750-DCSL graphics card
OR sometimes AMD Club3D R9 290 graphics card (will be inter-changing them)

-probably only 1 SSD and 1x normal HD in there
-not being used for gaming or anything heavy

Due to the 290 I would suggest the Superflower Golden Green HX550 especially as it's a tenner off at the moment. It's drawback is that it's not modular. If you want modular then you are looking at £20-25 more but OCUK is extremely lacking in quality smaller capacity modular units.

I can vouch for its quietness. I built a 2500K/GTX760 rig just before xmas with one & I couldn't hear it from a metre or so away.
