PSU Choice

I need a little outside opinion on a PSU choice please

Looking for a Modular PSU, will be needing at least 650-700W as ill be running Crossfire shortly.
Current system specs:
2600k @ 4.4 max
Asus P8P67 Pro
ATI 6870 (adding a second later (unless anyone suggests better?))
1 SSD + 2 Sata Drives
A few Case and CPU fans

Im currently looking at:
Corsair HX 750
CM Silent Pro 850
OCZ ZX 850

Thoughts or recommendations?

Im very tempted by Corsair, I know they're creditable
But The XFX is looking mighty dam fine too... for the extra 100W for the same price.

I only have experience with corsair so I cant judge. Just found the XFX black 850 for £97 though... Grrrr.
But the OCZ is Plus Gold. Where as the XFX is Silver. This make much difference?

On another note, the Corsair TX750 V2 and TX850 V2 are beasts as well. Even the previous generation are commandable units. Equally, the XFX Core series are a close match.

Not modular however, so wouldnt suit me... but they look good anyways

And Aha, a decent pic of the OCZ, and its fully modular, which a lot of 'modular' PSU aren't (which annoys me)

I think it might be the OCZ... Fully mod, decent price, 850W, and Plus80 Gold certified.
