hi all, i'm placing an order tomorrow morning for 2 gtx260's (this one) but i can't decide what psu to get

in my pc at the mo i have the following

Phenom II 940 @ 3.2 but plan to o/c more
Corsair Dominator 4GB with cooling fan
Asus M3N-ht
4 sata hdd's
and one sata dvd burner

plus the 2 gtx260's

i was looking at an ocz psu's but having a look round this forum it looks like most people have corsair psu's so have been looking at them now, but can't decide what one to go for

the one's i'm thinking about are (this one) or (this one)

would like one of the modular one's but they are listed as pre order and don't really want to wait lol so will have to do with one of these or something else

basicly i'm looking for something built to last and will beable to handle this set-up and possabley another gtx260 if i feel the need sometime in the future

For a few pound more I would go with the 850w version.

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-023-BQ&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1083 best one if you are planning on tri-sli the 260.

Cheaper alternative (not for future tri-sli though): http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-008-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

If you can wait a bit the Corsair HX Series are the best PSU (Along with the Seasonic M12D and Antec Signature, but they cost more) OC sell.

Unfortunatley they are only on pre-order atm.

yeah i would wait but if i do something will come up and the money will be gone, it always happerens so look's like it will have to be the tx 850W

plus umm.......... well it's like this i HATE waiting lol it sucked waiting since last month to have the money for this upgrade and after a month of saving and cutting down on things i finaly have the cash, not only that but i have sold both of my current graphic's cards and psu so don't really have the option to wait 8)

thanks anyway everyone for your quick replys
