I am looking for reccomendations on a PSU to fit the fractal arc mini.

From the products webpage:
(The case)Supports PSU's with a depth of maximum circa 170mm, when using bottom 120mm fan location.

It would need to have the wattage to handle a possibly 580 SLI upgrade, ROG gene V MB, intel prosessor and a small WC system, with some over clocking headroom as well as 2HD, 1 SSD and a blueray writer.

Efficiency would be nice, noise IS importaint.

I am thinking around 800w gold rating?

And ideas appreciated!

BUDGET EDIT:
Around 125. possibly more for quality improvements.

XFX 850W XXX (XXX same unit as 'Black' AFAIK).

Corsair Professional Series AX850 (160mm). I have one of those. Very good, quiet (works mostly passive until you crank up the watts) and fully modular. Gold efficiency of course. My recommendation if you can spare the expense.

Or its close relative, the Seasonic X-850, which is more expensive.

EDIT : Also the Antec High Current Gamer Pro 850W HCG-850 : Dunno about dimensions but shouldn't be too far off.
EDIT 2 : [150 x 86 x 180 mm] (WxHxD), so no.

If it's anything like the Define R3 you could easily fit a 180mm unit in there; with the fan absent the mounting clips only get in the way should you be installing something bigger.
