I have around £100-£120 to spend on a PSU.

In around 6 months my rig will be as follows:

i5 760 2.8Ghz(Overclocked)
8GB 2000Mhz RAM
1x 6950 2GB (Overclocked & Unlocked) OR 2x 5850 CF (Amended from 5950 :-))
2x 150g raptor in RAID 0
1x 6GB 2T HDD
27.5 Monitor (1920x1200)

What are the new ANTEC High Current Gamer 750W Quad Rails like? £98.99

There is no 5950, I shall assume you mean the 5850.

The Antec Truepower which Nvidiot suggest is your best option in the price range.
 
4x 25A rails, will this be enough?

Would this be wasted in my system:
Antec High Current Gamer 750W Quad Rail Power Supply - With FREE 3D Mark 2011 Advance
 
Go with the Antec linked above, or go for the XFX equivalent - slightly newer, and iirc slightly more amps per 12v rail (also looks soo much cooler :cool:)

XFX 750W Black Edition.

Very highly rated with some superb reviews :)
 
To answer your question about the Antec High Current Gamer, yes it is a very nice power supply. However the Antec Truepower New is the better option if only because it is modular.

A 25A rail, can deliver 300watts, you'd have to be looking at 6990s or GTX 590s to be overloading a 25A rail and it's unlikely that the OCP trip point is exactly on 25A, it's probably going to be higher.
 
Out of the two I would go for the Xfx 750w. I got to review one, and it is a rock solid PSU, tight voltage regulation and great efficiency at load. It's based on Seasonic's superb M12D PSU, which costs £110+! The Antec is a nice PSU, but as was said above, the Xfx does have more amps on the 12v rail, as well as being more efficient.
