Which PSU would be easy to use with the ZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis

Also with the following hardware:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor ($239.99)
GIGABYTE GA-X38-DS4 LGA 775 Intel X38 ATX Intel Motherboard ($199.99)
Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory ($72)
(2)DIAMOND Radeon HD 3870 X2 3870X2PE31G Video Card ($890)
Seagate Barracuda ES.2 ST3500320NS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM ($144.99)
 
Shank you, shank you very much :) ... that actually sounds great. I was thinking about going with cooler master 700W but this is around the same price and looks like better reviews
 
Althought this looks pretty darn good?

COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A1 ATX Form Factor 12V V2.3 / SSI Standard EPS 12V V2.91 650W Power Supply
 
or this... $200 .. and it supports to graphic cards with CrossFire?

PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad (Crossfire Edition) EPS12V 750W Power Supply 100 - 240 V UL, CE, CB, RoHS - Retail
 
Oh, then go with whatever you want, either one is a good choice. Although I think you would be better off with the OCZ.
 
I suggest PCP&C, Corsair, OCZ, and FSP PSU's.

I would get the OCZ 700w, i have it and its great. i have another 3870 on the way, so it'll be running crossfire + everything in my sig.

but if your running dual 3870X2's, i would get something like a 1k watt power supply.
 
I already posted that =/ but thanks for the full list

Also... the OCZ Game X Stream OCZGXS1010 (1010W) can also support two 3870's but thats gonna set me back $260
