Regarding air flow, the OCZ model GameXStreme the fan is 120mm instead of 80mm and it takes air in then blows it out of the computer. Would it be better to have this kind of PSU or the normal kind with a 80mm fan in the back of it?

anwyay i would go with the antec 900. it looks so nice.

and as for the psu, yeha wait for someone knowledgeable like 0mega or ceewi :D
 
I'd avoid the GameXStream 1010W. Aside from high (out of spec) ripple, it isn't really capable of putting out its full rated load at a realistic temperature. Similarly I'd avoid the GameXStream 850W. Also, out of spec ripple.

The ProXStream is the best quality unit of the ones you've listed. Be warned that it is very loud.

Antec's two units are good, given the price. Whether you need the extra power of the 1000W really depends on what you're powering.
