I am looking for a PSU with at least 400 watts + a 30A 12V rail for my ATI Radeon 5770.

I found a few, and i need your opinions on which may be best for my computer. If you find any better ones, please say. (Tigerdirect.ca only please)

#1 - Corsair 400W PSU

#2 Ultra 650W PSU

#3 Ultra 600W PSU

#4 Cooler Master Extreme 500W PSU

#5 OCZ 600W Pro PSU

I know the OCZ will run my graphics card like a dream, but i'm wondering if any of the others will be good enough, cause i don't trust mail-in rebates very much.
 
I think that OCZ is now marketing 4 PSU lines. One is pretty good; one is OK. The other two? Well, I wouldn't put them into your computer, let alone mine.

And like 47, I just cannot remember which one is which.

A 5770 only needs about 7 amps at 12 volts. If you know that you are never going to CrossFire or upgrade the video card, I'd go with the Corsair 400CX.
