Which psu?

Hi all, I just sold my bequiet 430w psu and a 560ti 2gb to fund my new psu, it will need to power an i5 2500k, gtx580 matrix platinum and other smaller bits and bobs(6 fans, hdd and ssd).

I will probably upgrade my motherboard next to a better supporting sli board with more over clocking features so I'm looking for a psu that has multi gpu support, it has to be fully/hybrid modular and the higher the rating the better.

I know corsair are great, silverstone and seasonic too but I was really interested in the evga nex750w gold, I can't really find any reviews online for it though.

What would be your recommendations for what I need, budget is up to £110/£115 (I get free delivery so all of budget can be used)

Cheers, Dane

Cheers, and what do you think for possibly two gtx 580 matrix cards?

Scratch that last question, looking at benches and prices for cards, seems a little silly to go for sli 580's when they're drawing 750+ and 6950cf which is much cheaper is not far off on performance and much less power consumption.

Is the silverstone 1200w still on offer or is the banner a mistake?

I think I might go for the silverstone strider plus 750w, I would like the seasonic x series 650w but it isn't in stock.

Sorry one last question about the silverstone unit, does anyone know the warranty length, I couldn't find it on their site, probably missed it with being tired.

Cheers, ok so I looked around today and have found two I can't decide on, the silverstone said above, or the rainforest place have a corsair hx750w+ for a similar price, wondering if this will be a better buy?
