Hi, here is my list,
intel i5 2500k Sandy Bridge
Asus P8P67 Pro
G.Skill Ripjaw series 16GB(4x4gb) ddr3 1600
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770
SSD 128gb
old wd 5400rpm hd
old antec case

I'm planning to oc my cpu and crossfirex my gpu in the future if i feel the need to do so.
Please recommend me two types of psu.
one for overclock and crossfirex system
and one for nonoverclock and non crossfirex system.
 
Since a non-SLI/non-CrossFire and OC capable PSU has already been mentioned, I'll just suggest a different PSU to the other option.

For the HD5770 I don't think it would be good to Crossfire it and is a better option to go for a single HD6950 or the upcoming HD7000 series. Either way these 2 PSU will handle all your needs whether it is a single HD6950/HD6970, HD6870 Crossfire or a HD5770 Crossfire with overclocking as well.

if you plan on upgrading to later gen vid cards, the 520 will be REALLY cutting it close.. If you are going to spend your money, just get a little bigger PSU for the long run.

Seasonic PSUs are by no means inferior in quality whether it is modular or not. There are some PSU manufacturers who uses this tactic to make it seem expensive but that is not the case with Seasonic, they make good PSU.

Unless he plans on getting some dual-gpu card, he won't be cutting anything close with a 520. My system barely draws half of my 520 and that's at max load. My bro has the same PSU running an OCed i7 and a 580. No problems. PSU needs are WAY overblown.

I'm sorry, that's actually what I meant. Thanks for pointing this out.

Yes, if you go dual GPU with the current latest gen GPUs, you might be cutting it close.
