I'm having trouble deciding what PSU do get on my next build.

I'm planning on an 8800GTS, or perhaps a 9900 when they hit the shelves, a single SATA HD, air cooled with approximately 5, 120mm fans and an overclocked Q9450 on a Abit IP35 Pro, or perhaps an X38 board if they drop in price.

I'm thinking a 500-600watt unit will be plenty of juice. However, I'm having trouble deciding on a supply base on cable length and possible clutter.

I have an enormous full tower Rocketfish case, so the cables need to be rather long to be able to route everything in a hidden fashion. I'd also like to be somewhat on the cheap, spending between 75-110 -- but if I can get one for less, by all means.

Thanks for the help!
 
Modular power supplier should be what you are looking for this rocketfish case, if cable management concerns you. I would recommend Corsair HX520 or HX620. High efficiency and enough juice for SLi system. Keep an eye on buy.com, there have these on sale with rebate and GCO from time to time.
 
I've been using a Corsair. Get the one that Danny recommends. I have a VX450 for a while and I have had no complaints.

Yeah that's a good 500W PSU. The OCZ GameXStream PSU is based off the FSP Episilon PSU design which has out of spec ripple, or voltage fluctuations, at high loads (Above 500W) that can damage or kill your system. Granted, you may not reach such high loads but why pay for PSU that can kill your system? Or why pay for a PSU that won't you use all the wattage safely?
