I prefer single rail PSUs

I'd go with a Corsair 950TX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139013


If you were going to go all out I'd go with the PC Power&Cooling Turbo-Cool 1200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703012

jeep11 - If I remember correctly just about all of the high quality power supplies rated at 1000 watts and above have genuine multiple rails.

 

[gavinski]
