Which one of these PSU's should i get? 800w, 900w or 1100w

Lol - dubcat's got bright-lights syndrome. I learnt about that in geography, it's where people travel to the city hoping to find work because they think the streets are paved with gold, then get stuck there and live in slums.

If you want something future-proof, go with a corsair. :p

No, as others have said above - 800W will run your current PC. And an i7 IS future-proof (particularly if all your disposable income is shortly to be spent on school fees :p). So yes - the 800W is good enough for the next (hazarding a guess) ~4 years or more. Depending on whether you upgrade at all. Obviously, if you change your spec massively, that PSU may no-longer manage. But that's common sense.

One final bid to lead you away from the shiny lights and onto something more popular (and therefore better) like the Corsair HX 850W as mentioned above? It comes with a draw-string corsair labeled bag :p.

EDIT: I think I over use the *tounge* smiley. Oh well :p
 
Oh is the enermax revolutions stuff really good then i.e. better than the competition? My current fan is a 450w enermax noisetaker and to be honest it's never missed a beat (but then i guess most fans just 'work')..

The enermax revolutions might not have the trick round led's on the modular cable connectors but it does have an LED in the cooling fan and from the product page it sounds like it's super high quality stuff.

you cheeky sod.. ok i'll admit it.. i have gone a bit LED happy. But it's not for the reasons you think - I actually think it might be a mid life crisis. I turn 38 in a couple of days /sigh

Well I won't say better, more joint best. Saying that they are the best if you want over 850w.

850W and under you should look at the corsair HX, Seasonic M12D, Antec Signature Premium, XFX 850w Black Edition & a few others.

But you can't wrong with a Sapphire Pure/Enermax Revolution as long as it fits in your case.
 
I got the 800w piperock. It's a nice looking PSU the only issue is the crossfire/sli power cables are VERY bulky. They have rather large ferrites which can hinder ur cable management a bit.

It powers my system easily though, running 4 hard drives and 6 fans and 2 overclocked 4890s + overclocked i7
