You already have a 1000w PSU? and you would only need about 750w for 2x580

Just the "best" or "best for a certain budget?"

There are even more powerful PSU's out there, but those are 1KW.

the connections melted i need another one plus i do a lot of over clocking and have a few HDD and SD connected to my computer

price wise maybe my max would be £180

How old is the PSU? it probably has a 5 year warranty.

I've not gone wrong with the coolermaster gold series yet. Don't go for the other coolermasters though they are not as good.

You don't need 1000 unless you plan on using 3 cards.

Corsair Professional Series AX850 £154.99 (same as Seasonic X-Series 850w)
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-028-CS&
Dimensions: 150mm(W) x 86mm(H) x 160mm(L)

Seasonic 860w '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply £164.99
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-015-SS&
Dimensions: 190mm(W) x 86mm(H) x 160mm(L)

The advantage of the AX850 is it very small size for it's power output.

Ok, well there are five suggestions above (two of us have linked to the same product, I also think they are all Seasonics internals) and either of those will power a small village.

If you want to save a chunk of money on another powerful PSU - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-213-SV&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=2283
