How is 80+ Gigabyte PSU compares with other good 80+ PSUs under 100$ ?

Gigabyte is a leading mobo manufacturer, but when it comes to the PSU market - I'm not so sure :??:

I did find Gigabyte's PSU listed on energypac 80+ listing, should that be enough for a good PSU to go with OC ?

Any more info would be a real help, thanks.

It's Gigabyte Superb 720W Crossfire/SLI ready
It's has a 80+ rating and it cost just under 100$
it had Japan made capacitors like it's mobo's

I am already running Sapphire 6870 Toxic a factory OC card with my overclock at just over 1GHz with 9% over stock voltage.

This PSU has 2 8-Pin PCIe connectors [6+2] and my current GPU needs 2 6-pin to run : (

My oc Gpu is performing better then i expected; frame rates are fantastic with the new Crysis 2 hardcore gpu settings over 80 fps at 1080p but i'm not so sure my psu can handle a real sandy bridge OC, please Help : (

P.S. All the sata Power ports are busy with my RAID 5 config + 4 fans + 2 optical drive Blu-Ray n DVD RW

I have a Thermaltake Frio cooler n Armor A60 Case
