The XFX power supplies are OEMed by Seasonic so they are great. Between those two power supplies I would go for the XFX power supply over the builder series by Corsair since its cheaper and I do not think that the OEM for the builder's series is not as good as the XFX ones. What are the specs of the PC that you are powering?

XFX are top notch and very reliable.
You can't be serious.  Hyperthreading is a market joke?

I'd put more trust into Corsair, but I don't know a lot about PSUs. http://www.jonnyguru.com/ is the place to go for PSU reviews.

Please don't say stuff you don't know about.

Xfx uses seasonic, and is generally better than corsair, corsair usually uses Cwt/chicony.

If you do not plan on crossfire, a 550W power supply will be more than enough to power this system as an i7 3960X EE CPU overclocked to 4.7Ghz running 3DMark11 took around 400W on load: http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/6210/sapphire-radeon-r9-280-dual-x-3gb-oc-video-card-review/index14.html

If you are using Windows 8 OEM, you are able to change your motherboard: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_8-windows_install/how-many-time-can-you-change-the-motherboard-on-a/edff52ca-908e-4a1e-9b4a-45c34b336766

Where are you buying your power supply from and what is your budget?

Not sure where you will buy from but I would recommend would be the XFX P1-550S-XXB9 (made by Seasonic) or the XFX TS 550W (based off of Seasonic SSP-550RT (OEM version of G series)). The XFX Core 550W scored a pretty good score in JonnyGuru's review (great reviewer for power supplies):http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story3&reid=225
