Thinking about going from my 5850 to a 6990. Rig is in sig, but will recap below:

Intel Core i7 920 @ 3.8GHz
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4P
6GB Corsair PC3-12800
640GB+2x1TB+2x2TB HDDs
120GB G.Skill SSD
XFX 5850 @ 975/1200
Four 120mm fans

Right now I have a corsair HX620. I'm assuming that it won't be enough to run the 6990, so I'm looking for the next logical step up.

I'd much rather not dish out for a 1000W PSU, so would something like the HX750W work fine? At $130 it doesn't break the bank, and the 80% Silver cert is always nice.
 
HX750 is fine for your system with the 6990 overclocked to its limits. I would look at the XFX power supplies, as they tend to be cheaper than the Corsair HX series while being as good.
