Which PSU for my build? i am getting mixed messages

so i recently posted a "which GPU should i get" post and one person said that i would need that more than my planned XFX TS 550w 80+ Gold (https://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550gts3x).

These are some different wattage psu's around the same price and was wondering if it is worth changing to either of them or to another one (preferably no more than $110 AUD)

my build: http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/MZnVgs

just want some opinions, thanks for reading :)

It should be fine, but i would recommend this one http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/fractal-design-power-supply-fdpsuts2w650w (this one is white, but there is a black version), or if you can spend just a bit more http://au.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-power-supply-rs650amaag1

The XFX 550W is fine, and will easily power a single GTX 970 and i5 4690K.
