Which one please?

Thermaltake Silent PurePower 680W

PCP&C 510 SLI

OR, please recommend a power supply for me to use if you don't think either of these is the best fit for my needs.

I have an MSI Neo4 Platinum/SLI motherboard that requires the -5v line so that is a requirement.

Besides that, I have two BFG 6800GT OC PCIe video cards so both of these are nice in that they offer dual PCIe plugs.

However, they are both expensive with the Thermaltake being the cheaper option. What do you all think?
 
Thermaltake doesn't manufacture the worst PSU's out there (they're about mid level or so) but only the likes of Zippy can compete with PCP&C. Also, the Turbo Cool 510 SLI is one of the only PSU's to recieve the NVidia SLI certification .
 
Well I "bit the bullet" and went with the PCP&C 510 SLI. That is quite an expensive power supply but I had a really nice conversation with the sales representative who assures me that it will be plenty for my system. In fact, it was like talking to an old friend... they have extremely knowledgeble and friendly people working there. In any case, one important thing that was pointed out to me was that not all of their 510 series drives have the -5v line on them. According to the sales representative, even the 510 SLI that I bought doesn't always have the -5v line... I had to specifically request one with it. It will be Thursday before they get another batch in with that line. Thanks for helping me chose! :)
