It's really far away and might take some time to get it does it worth it !?

 

The case Doesn't have a window anyway 

 

Modular PSUs make cable management sooooo much easier.

 

"It's really far away and might take some time to get it does it worth it !?" WTF are you trying to say?

Yeah that's the only difference.

And you can mod the cables if you want to.

Uh, what? The only difference is the cable management? You do know they're completely different power supplies right? XFX Pro > Corsair CXM. Semi- or full-modularity is convenient.

From the Kitguru reviews of both the CX600M and XFX Pro 450W and 550W units: The XFX Pro's are based on Seasonic's S12ii platform. They use full 105C Japanese capacitors, in comparison to Corsair's 85C rated Japanese primary and CapXon and SamXon secondaries. The Pro is non-modular, while the CX600M is Semi-modular. The Pro's are 1-2% more efficient, with much better 5V and 12V voltage regulation and excellent 3.3V, 5V, and 12V ripple suppression, better than the CX600M which has decent but not impressive ripple suppression; good for a budget unit at least. The XFX Pro's have a 5 year warranty, and the CXM Series has only a 3 year warranty, reflecting the components and performance IMO. There was no real difference in noise levels. The Pro is comfortably better in my opinion.

Yes it will be more than enough to power this system and this power supply scored pretty well in JonnyGuru's (a great power supply reviewer) review: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story3&reid=225

What's worse about it? they're both 80 plus bronze.

The internal components used are much better on the XFX compared to the Corsair. They are roughly the same price. Why get a worse PSU when you can get a good one for about the same money?

 

That doesn't mean anything at all. It is the quality of the components that is of more importance. The XFX has better components, and a better manufacturer than the Corsair.

XFX doesn't make PSUs. Well not that they don't make them, they have OEMs that make them. Seasonic and a few such as Superflower are some of the only companies who actually manufactures their PSUs ground up.

He knows. Pretty funny actually, since he often tells about people about that.

The XFX psu's are made by Seasonic, which I already knew  ;) I was only talking about the internal components though.

XFX550W is fine for a single gpu setup, you can even power a 780 or 290 on it, no problem

Or even 2. Testing atm my gpu's memory overclock, Corsair Link reports 480W http://i.imgur.com/uTWIyil.jpg. I've yet seen the fan kicking in my games, only happens if I take the cpu to 100% load. 

Highest I could get was 750W with the CPU at stock, prime95+furmark.

Dude, get the XFX, as their PSU's are purely Seasonic with only a rebrand. Nothing else.

 

And XFX TS Gold = Seasonic G Series. Over here i get 550w XFX TS Gold for 75€.

Not quite.

 

From Overclock.net:

First one is the non modular XFX TS series this is a rebranded Seasonic S12G which again is a non modular version of the good old Seasonic G

Last of the two new series is the XFX XTR

This is a modified and improved Seasonic G

By modified and improved i mean its been made fully modular and have an on/off bottom for a hybrid fan mode added
