New PSU needed

Hi, All.

I would like a new PSU.

I was going to do Crossfire 5870's, but had to RMA one. And now because ocuk no longer sells them I do not know what will happen.

Anyway I would like a PSU which will be good enough for Xfire 5870's or Xfire 6950's. But I am also considering going the SLI GTX570 route in the future.

I currently have a 600w OCZ modxstream.

I have been looking at:

OCZ 850W Z Series 80 Plus Gold
Thermaltake Toughpower XT 875W
Lepa B Series 850W

a review said although it does meet the gold standard it is nothing special. and that leans me towards the thermaltake.

I'm now looking at the OCZ ZX 850W which is fully modular and also a black unit.
The Lepa 900w G series is also the same price but the warranty is only 3 yrs as oppose to 5yrs with ocz.

Either that or get a 2nd hand Corsair HX1000 of the MM for £100?

I'm now stuck.
I don't want to get the OCZ now because there seems to be a common fault with them.
But I am now looking at the Corsair AX850 which is fully modular, or the Antec High Current Pro 850W which is not far off fully modular.
