Need help on what PSU to get

[Rific]

I'm in the process of putting together a new computer (used entirely for gaming). I really have no clue about Power supply units and rails or w/e. I know a big factor in PSU is how much amperage is available on the rails and then wattage.

Here is my computer specs:

Asus P5W DH Intel 975X Deluxe Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E600 Conroe
2x 1GB Corsair XMS2 Ram
Sony DvD R/RW
7200 RPM 320 GB Seagate Barracude SATA Hard Drive
X-Fi Creative Soundblaster Sound Card
X1950XTX
X1950XTX Crossfire (Hooked up in crossfire mode with the other 1950)
I have about 5 fans (some with LED) in the computer, also has a large 200mm fan on top.

I want to know which PSU can handle the power requirement of all these part along with being able to handle a little bit more, per say if I added one more hard drive or a CD-ROM. I would really like a modular PSU if possible as I want my machine to look good and not have cords all over.

Above is a PSU I was looking at as it matched my color scheme and also the modular cables I really liked. If this can not handle my power requirement please suggest a PSU you think would work.

The OCZ GameXstream 700W would be suitable for your system.

Check out the Corsair PSUs on www.zipzoomfly.com
also Fortron makes a killer PSU

I am not a fan of Hiper PSU's, and personally would get this Antec TruePower truecontrol PSU for the same price, and I believe it is a better quality PSU for the money...

Corsair PSUs are quite overpriced for the specs.
Antec, OCZ, Raidmax, Sharkoon (among others) use the same hardware as Fortron in their PSU. Thats what make this brands to be reliable, the perform VERY similar to eachother too.
The OCZ GameXstream beats everyones specs for the price. Quad 12v rails, 85% efficency and great amperage along the 12v rails. Excellent warranty.

I went with the 700W OCZ GameXstream after looking at all the other possibilities. It doesnt have the modular cables like I like but it has plenty of power and good reviews incase I wanted to add on to my computer. Thanks for the help.

Some duct tape and alot of imagination will make up for it
