The Raidmax is $15 more after shipping costs, would it be worth the extra money? I notice that the Raidmax is modular, which would be nice due to all of the stuff going on in my Antec 900. I know Raidmax makes some pretty nice higher-end cases (Smilidion), but do they make decent PSUs?
Any insight on this would be great. Here's the Slickdeals page for the PSUs
As far as what I need a new PSU for, I plan on making a big GPU upgrade, along with adding some more HDDs and possibly some other stuff, right now my PSU is just enough to power everything.
mm well if i had to get one of the two i would get the OCZ just because it has more reviews. but then again i would not get ether of those unless that was all that i could afford. do you really need a new psu and if so why?

Because I'm about to throw in 1-2 more HDDs and a 4870 in a month or two. They're both awesome deals and it seems like now's the time to upgrade, so that I won't be spending $100 instead of $38.
Raidmax units are not the best quality, and can be a bit flimsy. Between them, the OCZ unit is the better buy.
Also consider PCP&P 610w unit. The price listed does not include the 20%($22) off. If counted in, the price is similar to your existing choices, while being a far better unit.

I should point out that the OCZ is only $38 with shipping if you apply the code. The Raidmax is $39 with $11 dollar shipping when applying the code. So I'll go with the OCZ then, because for $38 it's hard to beat.

Iv got the ocz stealthXstream 600w. Its a good quality power supply, iv never had any problems with it at all so i cant recommend it enough, iv used it in a number of builds and have yet to find any limitations.
Im using it to power a fairly fully loaded system and iv never had any issues.
Be wary of modular power supplies as the resistance of the cables increases the more they are attached/detached.
I have the same PSU and its powering the system in my sig. It's a great PSU with an awesome deal. I have it for 7 months and so far no problems whatsoever. Enjoy it.
