These should do you more than fine, and are considerably less at at least equal (if not better) quality:

Well, i have my TT TP 850W, it is cool even when running my 2x x1950xtxs (they aren't exactly the world most efficient things), and i think they use about 80% the power as a gtx, so it sould do nicely if you wanted to sli two gtxs, or 2900xts (i have heard they have considerable cut power consumption on them since the oems)

Newegg reviews are far from set in stone, but there sure are alot of complaints about some of the Silverstones. That 850 watt is full of 8800GTX stability complaints. The OP750 has 6 pin and 8 pin power, but seems to hum/buzz. Another model is plain loud. Kinda odd for such a high quality PSU company.

Silverstone makes good stuff.
Right now you can get a much better PSU for less though.

Goto the Pc Power and Cooling website and grab the phone number...when you call ask for a Tech.
They will sale you a 750W (825 surge) for only $169 with full warrenty. If you live in the USA you will have the unit in 48 hours.

They make the best PSU's and will also sell dirrect unlike alot of companys. Remember to talk to a Tech as they will sell less than MSRP and alot less than Newegg!

EDIT: Looks like todays "sale" price @ Newegg for this is not just $21 over MSRP but $50 more than you can buy it dirrect with my method.

I was doing a lot of research into powersupplies over the weekend.. comparing from the lists and such, and the hiper fits my needs better. I guess that's why I thought it was better quality. I had been running numbers/comparing options/prices... and for *me* the hiper was the winner.
