Power supply question

Hi! I'm building a new c2d system and I want be sure that I have good enough PSU for the job. This is what I have already:
Asus 8800 GTX
Core 2 Duo e6600 with tunic tower 120
Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3
320GB Seagate ST3320620AS Barracuda 7200.10rpm sATA II 16MB
Dvd-burner
Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400
Maybe antec 900 ultimate gamer
Guys at the ocforums.net suggested this one for the PSU SilverStone Zeus ST56ZF 560W. What do you think? Other options in the same price range are OCZ GameXStream 600W and BeQuiet! Titan StraightPower 700w PSU.

OCZ GameXStream 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power Supply - £105.74 inc.VAT

Probably the best PSU I have ever used. Having used a 400w Enermax and 480w Antec Neo in the past, this thing is rock solid and sound wise barely audible imo.

Well worth the money, especially because it gives off a cool blue glow.

But seriously, I'm very happy with mine and I'd recommend that model over the 600w version. It's only ~£20 more!

I would agree 100%

I installed my OCZ GameXStream 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Power supply today and its amazing , its so quiet i have to look to see if the fan is still spinning , one thing i will say it has loads of cables for add ons , it took me a good hour or so for a tidy up , apart from that money well spent
