Alot really depends on your budget.
Not sure about XFX Power supplys, but I think Id stick with Corsair, Antec, Seasonic.
550W should be enough, but any bigger of a GPU you may want to consider 650W. Will be more than enough, and have some breathing room.
Also, if your main purpose for the build is gaming, It may be worth investing abit more into the GPU.
Not that the 560 is a bad card ..
But perhaps try to step it up to a 6950, 6970, GTX570 | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build) OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel Core i7 2700k (4.5Ghz) Motherboard eVGA P67 SLI Memory 2x4GB Mushkin Redline Ridgebacks (@1866) Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 SuperClocked (1280MB) Sound Card XiFi Titanium HD Monitor(s) Displays LG W2453V Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Saitek Cyborg PSU Seasonic x750 Case Corsair 600T (SE White) Cooling eVGA Superclocked CPU Cooler Hard Drives [OS SSD]Intel 320 (80GB) -- Intel X25-V (40GB) --WD Black (1TB)x2 -- WD Blue (640GB) Other Info LG BD/DVD |

Well im not rich so my budget goes to a 600 maximum. But wont the gtx560 handle most current games maxed out plus, with an average of 50/60+ fps ? Main reason is to play Battlefield Bad Company 2 Online without fps lag, starcraft 2, crysis, etc etc maxed out and maybe battlefield 3 . | My System Specs | | |

Yes, and it will likely be just fine for what you want out of it.
They are fine cards. Its slightly faster than a 460.
Crysis may not hold 50-60FPS at Max settings, but it should be playable and smooth.
The main factor will be what resolution you game at.
Another option, if they arent much more, is go with the EVGA 560.
This way you get a Lifetime warranty, as well as a 90days to step up to a faster card if you decide you want to. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom (Self Build) OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit CPU Intel Core i7 2700k (4.5Ghz) Motherboard eVGA P67 SLI Memory 2x4GB Mushkin Redline Ridgebacks (@1866) Graphics Card EVGA GTX570 SuperClocked (1280MB) Sound Card XiFi Titanium HD Monitor(s) Displays LG W2453V Screen Resolution 1920x1080 Keyboard Saitek Cyborg PSU Seasonic x750 Case Corsair 600T (SE White) Cooling eVGA Superclocked CPU Cooler Hard Drives [OS SSD]Intel 320 (80GB) -- Intel X25-V (40GB) --WD Black (1TB)x2 -- WD Blue (640GB) Other Info LG BD/DVD |

I think the PNY also offers a lifetime warranty but im not sure about that 90 day upgrade thing. Well I said crysis as an example as for "this generation games"m I mean the newest game. My resolution will most probably be 1440x900 and maybe later I will move to a 23" screen but im not sure about the resolution of it .

Yeah you will definetly need to rethink your graphics. some of those games won't even maxxed out with 50 to 60fps, especially gta iv as that needs more than 1200mb to get up to the max regions. heck I can't max with my 570 and I'm lucky if I see 50fps max.
if that is your budget either keep looking for a 570 or save a bit more and get a 580 if you want all eye candy at the best fps possible.

But the 560 will run gta iv, crysis, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the most important, all these games maxed outs and run smoothly or at least playable? Not like now im playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Im running it on average of 14-20 fps and god it makes me rage.
This is my current rig:

3,00 GB RAM

If I buy this rig now and maybe later upgrade the GPU, most probably to be in a few years, will it be a good deal? Like will the cpu, ram and motherboard be enough for the next 3-5 years?
EDIT: I've been searching for better alternatives that can stay in the budget a little bit and I found these 2 GPU. What's your opinion about them? POWERCOLOR ATI HD6950 2048MB DDR5 PCI-E GIGABYTE GTX560 TI OC 1024MB DDR5 PCI-E | My System Specs | | |

Both are decent overclockers and both will give decent performance. You may not be able to fully max everything, but you'll certainly be able to get smoother and more playable gameplay than you currently do.
At stock clocks, both cards are pretty equal.
You can't really go wrong with either. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me OS 7 Ultimate x64 CPU i5 2500K 4.7 Ghz Motherboard ASUS P8Z68 Deluxe Gen 3 Memory 8GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 2133mhz Graphics Card Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II Sound Card X-FI Forte 7.1 + ATH-AD900 Headphones Monitor(s) Displays x2 Dell U2410 / 58" Samsung / "40 Sony Screen Resolution 1920*1200 / 1920*1080 Keyboard Topre Realforce // Ducky Shine MX Black // Filco Ninja TKL Mouse Razer Imperator + Razer Lachesis PSU Corsair AX1200W Case Lian Li PC-V1020A Cooling Noctua NH-D14: 3x140mm Gelid Wing 14 : Noctua NF-P12 120mm Hard Drives 2x Intel 520 240GB * Crucial M4 128GB * 2x Samsung F3 1TB (RAID 0) * 2x WD Caviar Blacks 2TB (RAID 0) Other Info Laptop Specs:
