I was thinking that a good 600 watt power supply would do the job for my upcoming rig. OCZ 600Watt
This PSU has quad 12v rails, got good reviews, is relatively efficient and it on sale, but would it do the job for 2 8800GTS's and an overclocked E6300? This power supply has a total of 72 amps on the 12v rails so I think it'll do the job though, what do you think? Thanks.

Look to the coming reviews of the Silverstone OP-650.
On paper it looks very good, 12V@54A. I'm keeping an eye on this unit.

If you must buy now, the Corsair HX-620 will Froogle pretty cheap.
The Silverstone ST65ZF is killer but does have an 80mm fan.
The new Ultra X-Pro 600W reviewed very well at SPCR. No. I'm not being funny.

You can't add rails like that; 72A on the +12v would be 864W all by itself!

The OCZ is one of the FSP-made units that has trouble with ripple. Why not get the Zalman, a nearly identical unit with the ripple problem corrected?

How about a 600watt Seasonic? Text
Or maybe I'll be pushing my luck with the new Energy Plus 550watt Seasonics? Texthttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817151027
