If you're running crossfire then I would get atleast an 750W PSU. But since you have alot of other stuff, go for the 800W or the 860W.
 
OCZ game x stream is less costly then any of those you posted and is 700 watts, they make an 800 of the same thing for slightly more too. they are both crossfire and SLI capable, and mine hasn't given me any problems.
 
PC Power & Cooling S75QB is my first choice , but if you want a Slient PSU, get SILVERSTONE DA700. Or alternatively OCZ GameXStream 700W is cheap compare to the others.
