How many watts should I get?

[cpt.obvious]

My specs are:

ASUS Rampage Formula X48

Nvidia GeForce GTX 280

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83 Q9550

mushkin 4 gig (2x2gig)

Seagate Barracuda 250

I was looking at this one but people havn't told me that Zalman was a good brand. Here it is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817379007

I know I need a good PSU but is this fine?

700W with about 45 to 50a on the 12v rails should be more than enough for that build.

What do you mean 45 to 50a on the 12v rails? I don't know much about PSUs. As it shows.

What about this one?

I just got that PSU in the case. Its running flawlessly and the package it came in made me tear. It has a crazy amount of connectors which is never a bad thing. It has a 60A Rail which is monstrous. I ran it externally on an old P4 PC to make sure it was working right and wouldnt ruin my system and man is it quiet. It looks very sleak inside my case and feels very solid. Also came with a "Powered By Corsair" sticker including their logo. I plan to stick it on my new Tempest case I will hopefully be buying. This PSU will be more then enough to power your build and is worth every penny. Buy it or regret it till the day you are buried.

Edit:
Also, the pictures do not do it justice .

Great unit.

Anything by Corsair is great!

Yeah, when I finally need to upgrade my PSU, I'll probably get their 1,000W unit.

any PSU with that many connectors needs to be modular IMO. that thing would make your case look like a rats nest
