Probably the Corsair, although as mentioned before a 450VX should be plenty for your system. It's not just about the watts, in fact the amps are really more important most of the time. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139003
What's the brand/model of the power supply you currently have?
what you mean save myself i got a 500watter and it cant handle it i wanna get a overkill so i kno i dont have to worrys about it
What makes you think you won't have to worry about it if it's a 700W PSU? It could still blow up if it's faulty. But it's your money, and if you don't want to listen to people who are giving you decent advice that's fine. Get this, it should just handle your system with a 800-900W left over just in case you add another 4 video cards.
no sorry i worded it wrong... I have a 500 watt psu right now and its a thermaltake and while gameing i max out the amps plus it starts to smell. Now that thats happend im scared to get Psu like that so i decided to get somthing that would power it like 3 times over

Unless you have one of the TT models that cost well over $100, you have junk. Even the expensive TT's are of middling quality IMO.
Once again, 500 watts has nothing to do with quality. Cheap PSU's may say 500w, but actually may be 400w, the voltages may be over 10% off, the 12v rail may have low amperage, etc...
As randomizer said, post the specs or model number.
A good quality 500w should be able to easily handle that setup. If you add another 3870, then a quality 550w would be minimum.
