I need some advice on a new Psu.
I originally had a visiontech 4850 but, I got a great deal and up graded to an ASUS 4870.
Here are my first system specs:
Intel E7200 O'ced to 3.8 GHZ
Asus P5Q deluxe
OCZ titanium 2 gigs 6400
Zalman 9500 cooler.
Cooler master 550 watt Psu
Wd 150 Gb raptor Hd
Seagate 500Gb Hd
After installing the 4870, I was getting all type of shut down problems and crashes. I searched the web. I updated the drivers to cat 8.7...uninstalled..reinstalled. downgraded to 8.6. I did the fan fix. I thought that it was a bum card. Then I put the card into my other system:
Intel Q6600
Evga 780i Mb
Tuniq tower
Ocz 700 Watt Psu
WD raptor 150 gb
OCZ pc 9200 2GB
Evga 8800 GTS G92 512(I took this out to put in the 4870)
The Card worked like a charm. So i contributed my problem to underpowered PSU.
The OCZ psu Had 2 6 pin connectors and the Coolermaster had one 6 pin and i had to use an adapter.
Here is a link to the Coolermaster PSU.

Here is my delima. I'm looking to buy a new PSU.
I want to have 2 systems. 1 for gaming and one for editing and etc.
I am considering going crossfire soon(Getting another 4870 0r getting a 44870X2 when it launches) so I want to future proof my Psu for a while and the coolermaster Psu wont fire up my Evga 8800Gts in my backup system. Here are my 3 choices. What do you guys think would be the best choice for me. I did a little research. Seems like these are good choices and good prices without having to splurge on a 1000 Watt PSU.

If you guys have advice on another PSU please feel free to give me some advice.
I'm probably going to sell the Coolermaster..its pretty much useless now?
