Out of these 2, which do you think would be the better choice if I planned to Crossfire 2 4870 1gb?

sorry if the links don't work, this is really my first introduction to a forum so please try to go easy on me :)
The rest of my build (in a nutshell): 4gb of Corsair Dominator RAM @ 1066
Basic Gigabyte P45 mobo
E8400 @ 3.8
Seagate 500gb HDD w/ 32mb cache
Vista 64
Cooler Master 690
Thanks for all of your help, I'm looking forward to becoming a productive member of the Tom's Hardware community! (well if that doesn't sound nerdy....)

corsair. same one i have. great psu. have my nice 4870x2 connected to it

Either one is among the top choices at any price. Can't go wrong with either.

But in this case, the PCP&C is $69 after rebate, and free shipping--there is no way to justify spending the extra $30 on the Corsair.
