PSU choosing

[Twist86]

So as some of you know I played Russian roulette with my last PSU and won....but lets avoid it for the future. Safe to say 450w wasn't good enough.

I am upgrading to a x4 9650 or a X2 89w 6000+ and later when FC2 comes out I plan to get a second 512mb 8800GT in sli since my mobo isn't a 2.0 board.

I am fighting between

and
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006

seems reliable as well.

I gotta say I like the second one seems like it has everything I need and others are running SLI 8800GTX which are better cards then my PCI-e x16 8800GT

Now I don't plan to go much farther into this PC just and I don't plan to get the second 8800GT till it goes down in price some since I can run games well enough as it is atm.

I just don't want to run into another issue with not enough power to run my games.

or is there a better psu I over looked?

Of the two you linked I would go for the first one. It has 72A on the 12V rail which is a ton overkill but should be sufficient. I would look around some more though. According to http://www.computerforum.com/90110-power-recommendations-video-card.html You would only need a 600W PSU with around 50A on the 12V rail. It's always good to be above the requirement. But if you're on a budget I might go for something a bit lower and cheaper.

Both of those supplies are kind of overkills. Seriously, you really do not need that much power to run those equipment, even in SLI. Just pick up something like this and you'll be fine:

Either one will work fine. You decide if you want a big single rail or 4. The OCZ unlike what was said above has around 56 or 57 total amps and the Corsair has 60 amps on the 12V rail.
