Iv'e never heard of that brand of psu before. What's your budget, and what country are you in?

Are you planning to Xfire that 7870? If not, you can always save money by dropping wattage. Also, dont get a PSU from FSP, get one from more reliable brands like Corsair, Seasonic, XFX and Antec.

I live in new zealand and this case is fairly cheap, modular and I have had some other people recommend it to me, plus it is 80 puls gold certified . My budget for the build is around $1600 NZD.

No I do not plan to Xfire anytime soon. Is there a reason not to go for this particular power supply or the 650w version of it?

There are more reliable brands out there, FSP MAY be like CoolerMaster when it comes to PSUs. You know, those hit or miss type manufacturers. Some good, some bad, etc.
