Which PSU

or even a Cheiftec A135 850W cheaper, still modular, and still same wattage with a very respectable quality

Looks to me like a huge difference between the psus... one being that the Corsair HX850W uses a single 70A 12V rail, and the chieftec splits theirs... the HX is 80+ Silver, and by all reviews totally makes that rating by a good margin.

What if I were to look at the new HX650. that would bring my cost down a bit, probably somewhere close to 40 dollars. Also I need to add that I may go for a water cooling loop with a single pump sometime in the future. SO would buying a 650 HX make sense? Or the 750 HX or the 850HX??? Its going to be a corsair and thats the only thing thats sure as of now.

BTW I am all for the new ATI cards, and if the 5850 and 5860 really turns out to give the performance of a 4870X2, then I am kicking out the dual card setup, in favour of one of these
