I'm currently using a Cooler Master eXtreme PowerPlus 600 watt. It is more than sufficient for just my 2500k, mobo and a GT 430 2GB, but I don't think it will be enough for a beefier GPU like the 6870 OC, as the 12v Ramp is rather small (2 X 18A)
Here are some of the PSU's I'm looking at:

or this one
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7195036&Sku=C13-2800
The second is much out of my price range, and i think it's a bit overkill.
Another quick question, how much will i save on electricity if i upgraded my PSU?
Here are the rates http://www.ontario-hydro.com/index.php?page=current_rates
Thanks!
