More Options:
Antec HCP 850
Enermax - Revolution 85+
OCZ ZX 850W
IDk, if Seasonic manufactures it, but the AX850 is based on Seasonic's high-efficiency 80 Plus Gold certified X-series.

Isn't Corsairs AX850 just a renewed SeaSonic X? Because SeaSonic is the company who manufactures it.IDk, if Seasonic manufactures it, but the AX850 is based on Seasonic's high-efficiency 80 Plus Gold certified X-series.

yes Seasonic manufactures XFX, and Corsair PSU
reason why you want to go Seasonic X series
1)it is very quiet
2)has 3 fan options(reason why it is quiet)
3)hybrid mode
4)GOLD rating
AX series i have to say isnt as good as Seasonic X series
i would rather go with Corsair HX series over AX
i would also change the 850W into a 1000W there is not much of a price difference and you can pretty much take that 1000W into any of you new builds
not to mention 1000W has a hybrid switch so you can switch it when ever you want

Any of the Silverstone Stryder PSU's will work since most of them are 100% modular. I had a 850w for three years and it worked like a champ.
I have upgraded to a semi-modular Thermaltake Touphpower Grand 850w and it runs like a champ but has a four more years on the warranty over the standard three year that Silverstone offers.
Both are under $200

X-series is one of the best because it is a little old doesnt mean it can't do its job
AX is not a hybrid fan and Seasonic X is
it offers "Sanyo Denki San Ace Silent Fan"
which means at idle it will switch to a fanless mode to save energy and stays quiet
and at load it switches to the fan and i have to say it is really quiet and cools very good

Get a 650Watts PSU.. It can power a GTx 690... This video of 690 SLI is being powered by a 900Watts PSU, each 690 draw about 320watts so if you subtract 320 from 900, it's 580watts... 650Watts is all you need because 2 GTx 670 is the same wattage as a single 690 with pretty much huge performance difference...

I am quite skeptical about the HX850 because it is made by Channel Well Tech while the AX850 is made by SeaSonic. According to some articles, the AX850 is SeaSonic's X series, just remastered into a second version of it. Plus, the Ax850 will also not spin unless it is under load. I have heard no reviews let alone unboxings of the SeaSonic X-Series X-1050w PSU, could anyone list a link to a review of it?

it would be more than enough, you can actually get by with a 750W
if you plan on getting a 3rd 670 then you should have about 800W
(even though people say you need +250W Each card added to the 500W recommended)
the reason this is, is because 670 do not take a lot of power due to the smaller chip it uses.
heck you can probably get by with a 650W with a 2x670 SLI

get Corsair HX850
it is very good, almost the same as AX but silver rated
or
Seasonic -x series 850W-1050W
850W uses the same thing as 1050 and has free shipping, not to mention it is gold rated and looks better than the 1050
1050 is same price as 850 but has shipping included and a hybrid switch, it is kinda ugly to look at ,but you won't be looking at it much
another PSU that has been really popular no is NZXT HALE82
NZXT is not well known for their PSU but this one was where they shine, it is great, cheap, and modular. pretty much everything you need too

Ohh, I was actually looking at this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=17-151-...
10 more watts,platinum, I think it supports 3-way SLI AND has the 2 inputs. I'd probably just have to sleeve the cables :l

I like them but I have a black and red combo going on. So my options are:
Corsair AX850 - Small PSU,Black with a HINT of gold, very nice cables. Only reason I am doubtful of it is because I want to purchase the Maximus V Formula motherboard. It has an additional 4 pin power input to provide extra power to the board. Its not mandatory though.
SeaSonic Platinum Series 860w PSU - 10 more watts, SeaSonic branded, reliable. I don't really like the grey on it, and the cables are horrid. I don't feel like having to sleeve them.
Which one would you go with?
