Hello all,

First I just want to say this forum is truly great and I have been reading all sorts of articles since mid summer when I first decided to get into computers a little bit more. I built my first rig in late August and with time have come to realize I didn't know as much as I should.

So, here is my dilemma. Currently I am running a Diablotek 600w PSU (Yes, it's junk. I didn't know any better!) along with these components:

AMD Phenom II x4 965 @ 3.4ghz stock (will be overclocking to 4.0)
1TB WD 7200 RPM
40GB Old SATA drive for backup files
Lite On DVD Burner
8GB G. SKills Ripjaws @ 1600MHz
Biostar TA870U3+
Asus Radeon 5770 HD @ stock clocks/voltage
3x120mm Blue LED Case fans with an additional 2 more 120mm on my CM Hyper 212+
1x140mm Blue LED Case Fan
1x360mm Blue LED Case Fan (custom modded my side panel for this....quite proud of it :D)
2 sets of LED Accent Lights
1 LED Light Bar

Now, that being said, in the near future I will be adding an additional:
HIS Radeon 5770 HD for Crossfire (Should be here by Friday)
3.5" Memory Card Reader
Fan Controller (my case fans came with 4 pin molex and 3 pin....got an amazing deal!)
1-2TB 7200 RPM SATA HDD
2 Red Cold Cathodes with sound activated controller

I have found a couple of power supplies I'm interested in:

OCZ ZT 750W Fully Modular
OCZ ZS 750W Non-modular (big draw is that it only has 4 molex connectors which could make things difficult)
XFX Core Edition 750W

My question is if anyone could tell me if one of these would be better? Or is there a power supply out there that will be better than these that I haven't found? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

The PC Power and Cooling looks like a nice unit as well. I also looked at the 750W TX, but for the same price I can have a fully modular one. I'm rather torn here.....
