The wattage on the 12V rail(s) is the one that counts, the Corsair has more (636 watts vs 552 for the OCZ - look at the PSU sticker pics on newegg). Basically the OCZ has more watts but in the wrong place. The Spinpoint F3 is considered to be better but the Seagate is OK.

If you want to save some money pick up the X3 715 for $10 less, its the same CPU just 200mhz slower. But that doesn't matter since the multiplier is unlocked anyway.

Also I'd look into getting a Seasonic 620W, you don't actually need that much power (650, 700) for the setup your going for even if you do decide to crossfire. Plus its more efficient.
