Power Supply recommendations?

I agree. I have THIS one and has been fantastic. Got it a bit cheaper than what the egg is selling it for now, but it is one solid PSU.
 
It really depends on your budget. Check out jonnyguru's budget PSU and high end PSU list. The budget PSU is still really really good, but they're just not recommended for dual G80s or R600s. If you're not planning on running SLI on the latest flagship cards, the "budget" PSUs are already overkill.
 
Seasonic, Enermax and Corsair are brands you're looking for. OCZ is good too as their stuff is made by seasonic IIRC. A 700W is overkill; I'd say slap a 500W quality PSU in there and you'll be set.
 
OCZ uses the FSP Epsilon platform for their GameXstream PSUs, which are a huge step above their previous OEM - Topower. However, the Epsilon, while pretty efficient and performs pretty good, isn't of the same build quality as Seasonic, and has ripple issues at high loads. It's also group regulated. It's still a decent PSU, but for the money I'd get something else.
 
I would go with the PSU you have picked out. Great PSU. Read Jonny Guru to get a review.
 
Ordered it yesterday, thanks for the tips guys!! I'm sure I'll be happy with it, even if 700 is overkill, at least I know I'm covered for whatever I want to do.
