Help me chose the right PSU please

[Bramill]

Here are the main components I will hopefully be purchasing in the next few weeks, I'll probaly choose an RV-03 Raven, 650D or NZXT Phantom Case.

Please could you advise me on the best power supply to get for this setup, with and without crossfire assuming ill overclock the cpu and graphics card(s)

thanks in advance,
JJ

what case are you planning on using? (want to make sure the cooler will fit)

as for the PSU i'd recommend any of these:
YOUR BASKET
1 x OCZ Z-Series 850W '80 Plus Gold' Modular Power Supply £92.99
1 x Antec TruePower New Modular 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £69.98
1 x OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £64.99
1 x Antec TruePower New Modular 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £53.99
1 x OCZ ZS Series 550W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £49.98

550W ones are for a single card, 650W+ ones are for two cards (the 850W one is overkill but its far more energy efficient (80+ gold instead of 80+ bronze)

thanks reaper,

I'm edging towards the RV-03 Raven case, and I've seen the noctua installed in that fine. Also thanks for the money saving tips =). I can see myself buying the 850W OCZ just because!

I would go for the Gelid Tranquillo CPU Cooler @ £22.98
Then use the saved cash and get:
Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 TOXIC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE DIRT3 & Deus Ex Games @ £239.99

I would also swap the cooler to a Tranquillo or Akasa Venom, the RAM I would change to XMS3 and with the money saving head on, perhaps a Samsung F4 2TB drive? since they are only like £12 more for an extra 1TB.

I have a similar setup and I went with the OCZ Z-Series 850w modular, but only because I plan on getting another 6950 when ever mine starts to struggle with games. Unless you plan on adding to that build too you could get away with a decent 650w I would say.
