The second one is definetly the better choice, it has exactly 38A on the 12v rails, while the other only has 36. Plus, the second one looks cooler
  Also, the second one is SLI approved so you know it can handle 2 vid. cards.

I like the second one a lot. 36 amps on the rails is nice...
 Arn't you going to wait and see what the 7900 series is going to be like?! It's coming out March (isn't it?)

Um... I'd go with the 580W because it has a couple more Amps on the rails, but that's just me.
