106 out the door is a hell of a good deal. Hell, I even kicked in the extra 3 dollars for 2 day shipping. This beats neweggs price by far. Hopefully this PSU will solve my random shutdown problems.

Olympia 650 > Corsair 520.

Of course, the OP650 is overkill. The 520 is fine if you only plan on one 8800 card.

All are good choices so far. I'll also add in my two copper coins:

Antec Truepower Trio 650 watt:

$99 + shipping AR.

Corsair HX series or the Seasonic S12 series.

deadeyedata a good online store? never heard of them. but that OP650 doesnt seem that much more even at $128

entire 54A on a Single 12v rail , any difference on having it all on single vs several (like antec trio) 19A X 3 12v rails

will probably have enough power for anything i could throw at it and huge step from my true power 380. I don't mind if its over kill as long as it doesn't let me down and breaks heh

Deadeyedata is a reputable store. Have a look on Jonnyguru.com.

The difference should theoretically be that multiple 12v rails provide cleaner power, but in reality, since there's only a single 12v source, it's not a big improvement. Add to that, if you overload one rail but have no load on the other(s), it won't work properly. I suggest sticking to single railed psu's.

It won't let you down.
