High end power supply- Help!

[mastermike707]

I am currently looking for a big power supply for a high-end system, it needs to power:

7 120mm Fans (a couple of these are linked together, but it still seemed significant to mention)
1 80mm Fan
1 Xigmatek CPU Cooler
1 4870 + Acclero S2 Cooler (with turbo module)
2 Optical drives ( both sata, one is a blu-ray rom and the other a dvd burner)
4 SATA 750GB Harddrives
1 45nm Intel Quad 9450

Could I get some recommendations? I need at minimum 6 satas and the more molexes the better, I don't really care how it looks, I just want lots of amperage on the 12Vs.
I am currently looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703009
and

or the 900W edition: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148036

On a sidenote, should I change out the 4870 in this build for a 4870 X2 considering that the client is going to be doing heavy graphics rendering? Or should I just stick with the 4870?

Ditch those Apevia ASAP! Apevia is well known for making shoddy over-rated low quality PSUs that are more than capable of killing hardware. Unless you want a client with a dead PC for a paperweight, ditch those Apevia PSUs right away.

That Silencer 750 you chose is a good choice. You might also want to check out this PSU though:
Corsair 750TX 750W PSU - $98

And what graphics rendering software will he be using?

Really? I have two comps currently with Apevia (well their former name) power supplies, one is three years old, the other is around five, never had a power problem, and they seem pretty solid.

Not sure what kind of software he will be using.

I am really thinking that 750 is sort of the minimum for this system, I would really rather pay a little bit more and get a supply with more capacity.

Yes really:

I once had an Apevia PSU and it took out six hard drives over time. I would never recommend anyone getting an Apevia PSU. Especially since there are significantly better quality PSUs for cheaper (the Corsair and PC P&C)

ok, you have convinced me, now I just need a power supply that has enough amperage.

Well, both the 750TX and the Silencer 750 has 60A on the +12V rail. Both are in fact a bit overkill for that rig. A good quality 500W PSU with at least 40A on the +12V rail will be enough for that rig. So any of those 750W PSUs mentioned in this thread are good choices.

I recommend the Corsair VX550W, simply because I doubt that system would use even 350W under load. For $75 AR, you can't go wrong, and spending more money on a 750+W PSU seems a little pointless to me. You could even go with the cheaper VX450 for $60 AR, and that would be plenty. The PSUs Danny suggested are excellent units, but based on the power requirements, they're also unnecessary.

By the way, the VX550 has a single-rail design that provides 41A on the 12v line (492W rated output), which is way more than enough for that system.
