or

the first i listed is good all around but has less watts and im just concerned that it might not be enough in a highly overclocked situation.
the latter gets better efficiency but not by much and offers more watts, but has a loud fan at loads of 60-70% and up (according to jonnyguru), will the overclocked system i have listed above tax it past the 60-70% point?
also if i decide to go tri fire in the future will these PSU's be enough?
which would you get and why?
