Power supply suggestions

I'm needing some help, in deciding which psu to get for my build. Firstly I'm planning on running a Conroe E6600 and trying to really overclock it so a "good" power supply is necessary. I also have two Evga 7900 GTO's that I plan to run in SLI mode so I will be really putting a draw on the 12v rails. Finally I have a Silverstone TJ07 case where I have read there has been issues with the length of the ATX cable. Another priority would be to have a modular power supply due to lack of space for cramming wires. Now I know that this case supports dual PSU's and thus I have some options available. I'm thinking of getting 1 x 520w corsair PSU (CPU/SLI/motherboard) and a 2nd ocz modstream 450w (for fans/hdd/dvd drives/anything else). Or should i just get a 620W Corsair instead and run it alone? Anyone have any suggestions or opinions regarding this build? At most it would be 4 HDD's + 1 Optical drive. One other thing is I would like to keep the cost of the PSU at $200 or below

Thanks
 
Just get a single powerful psu. And don't worry about modular, even with an extra long psu (22cm) and both HD cages in you can still tuck the extra wires in the other PSU area. Of course, properly cooling the TJ07 is another matter....
 
The Corsair 620W is ideal, as is the PC P&C 610W, both are about $150 & will take care of you for many years to come. ;)
