Usually I stick with Seasonic, but in this case go Fractal, no brainer. Just a reminder - use the cables provided with the power supply, not what you have already in the system!

The Fractal is a decent budget unit. More importantly, what does your rig consist of and what do you plan to use it for primarily? Why did you wait until after you purchased the unit to ask for advice? Generally when we have PSU questions we make our query first, then purchase.

The Seasonic is a better quality unit, but you'll still have more overhead with the Fractal.
No idea what your build is going to require though without system specs.
