Power Supply Quality Question

I've been trying to avoid asking forums on the internet for help as much as possible because it all varies depending on where you go, so I have been reading about rails and all that nonsense, and I still don't really understand the concept. I like to consider myself a pretty intelligent person, but only when it comes to things like literature and politics and whatnot. I'm not really good at science (as much as I'd like to be, at least). Anyway, I really like this power supply because it's got the cool looking modular connectors, and as stupid as it sounds, looks are important to me. Anyway, I'm planning on getting this PSU for my Income Tax/Overtime paycheck build (~$3000), which will include (among other things):

A Q6600
At least 1 (maybe two) 8800 GTXs
A 24"+ monitor
Two DVD drives
Two HDDs
(Still a maybe) An SSD
4 GB ram
a 780i Mobo

Anyway, I read that it's best to have something like 60+ amps combined on the 12v rails, and I think this one qualifies, but I've seen others with something like 80, so I'm wondering how well this will serve?
 
Wow $220?! Thats... a lot. Around here Corsair PSUs are really popular and considered very good quality. This 750W is the highest one available right now but isnt modular. It also doesnt have all those crazy lights... but is classy in black. As for amount of power the 750 might be overkill for you system depending on the SLI.

Price really isn't an option, as I have a pretty well-paying job, and I have absolutely no bills. Also, regardless of looks, I want modular more than life itself. I want the cleanest possible look as well, which is why I like those circular modular connections. I don't really give a crap about the lights, but it's the first time I've seen those circular modular connections on a PSU over 600W.

I just found this, so I think I might go for this instead, since the price is better
 
Read the review, [H] does some of the best power supply reviews. That particular power supply is actually a pretty decent one, gives good clean power, decent amps at higher watts, should be enough to last a dual-GTX rig for a couple years. If you're into all those colors and bling, that ABS should do you just fine.
