I want a GOOD PSU for $200 budget

Here is my build on newegg so far: (wont post links just items)

Intel i7 920 2.66ghz Quad Core
Gigabyte GA-EX58 UD5 X58 Motherboard
Asus Radeon HD 4870X2 2GB
6GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 RAM
WD 300GB Raptor 10krpm
Cooler Master HAF 932

I have $200 to spend on a good PSU. I was originally going to get this one:

However it looks a little big for the HAF 932 case. The fan on the PSU might get covered up a little on the back of the HAF 932. Can someone recommend me a good PSU, brand, and how many watts should I go with? 620? 850? I might end up going crossfire eventually.

Thanks.
 
Don't need to spend $200. on a PSU... Plenty of nice models in the Corsair and Antec lines - just do your homework and you'll be OK.

I wouldn't go for split rail. They're just not that powerful as single rail. Really, you should be looking at the amps on the 12v rail that you need.
 
Split rail/single rail, doesn't matter really. You don't have issues like when multiple rails first came out, they've long since figured it out.

Besides, most multi-rail PSUs are actually a single rail anyway.
