The Aerocool is made by Andyson. Seasonic beats even other quality manufacturers. Andyson is not what I would call a "quality" manufacturer.

For a system needing that much power ( 2 x GTX 680s or 2 x HD 7970s ) I would get the Seasonic X series. $139 after rebate and you will not beat the quality. With $1000 or more worth of GPUs it's certainly worth an extra few dollars to get a high end power supply for them.

First I would go with a single strong GPU over any multi card setup. Some games do not support Crossfire or Sli and multi card setups can cause micro stuttering. Here is a list of power needed for just about any card setup you can run.

Stick with Corsair, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, XFX, Silverstone, Enermax, OCZ, Antec or the higher efficiency Rosewill units for quality.

So, how about the tx850 i was going for the 750 but it's £5 more for another 100 watts also i'm planning to use one 7870 xt, i understand they are extremely close in performance to a 7950 and £60 cheaper, but i most likely will xfire later, or upgrade my card

Way more power than you will need but it's a quality unit and will not hurt anything but your bank account to get it.
