My PSU currently seems to be the noisiest component in my system. So could anyone suggest a new one, capable of running a dual core Opty setup, a couple of hard drives, watercooling and possible future SLI. It has to be silent or very, very quiet. Thanks.

Seasonic are generally rated as one of the quietest brands of PSU out there so the 600w should offer enough power for your requirements, I don't know how much power a standard watercooling system takes though.
Other than that it may also be worth looking at FSP as you can get a 700w version also(out of stock currently mind)

Watercooling doesn't take a lot. It's only a pump and a couple fo fans. So I think 600w should be enough. I've heard good things about Seasonic. Any idea how it would compare to my current OCZ Powerstream 520? It's not that noisey but I'd still like to quieten it.

I recomend the Corsair HX power supplies, they are silent and modular, they come in 520W or 620W and apparently have stronger rails than the seasonics, i currently have a 520w on the way but here is the information along with some reviews furtherdown
