Which PSU?

I have just sold my VX550 so am on the look for a new PSU.

Needs to be able to power;
i5 750 @ 4ghz (hopefully)
Gigabyte UD5
4GB Ripjaw
Crossfire 5770's
4 x 500GB HDDS
Corsair H50-1
5 x 120mm fans + 1x200mm
Fan controller

Want it to have a bit of headroom incase I decided to go i7 or 5850 crossfire etc.

Was looking at around 750watts but then saw this;
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-193-CM&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1103 - 850watts for £120. Any one used it? Is it good?

I then saw this, is it a safer bet? I guess its pretty good quality down to the price, but is it worth it?

Any other PSU's worth mentioning, have about £120-140 max and the lower the better.

Thanks

I've been using the coolermaster 850 for about a year now,no problems with it at all,and its quiet.The cables are a little short though.

How short? I have the HAF 922, would they be long enough to reach the top 8 pin behind the mobo?

the corsair TX-850 is a pretty good be too (not modular, but last time I went that route I ended up using most of the cables anyway).

Take a look a my rig mate, very very good PSU. Lost a cable mailed be quite sent me the whole bunch FOC great customer service from them...trust meh

Yeah,they should be long enough to reach in a HAF.

Seeing that be quiet powering i7 with crossfired 5870's swings it for me tbh, thats more than I will ever use, so thats enough for me! Thanks.

How long are the cables in the be quiet?
