Which PSU to get?

[mkln]

Hi, I was looking to upgrade my current setup and realized I needed a new PSU. The config will consist of:

2x WD2500KS
2x WD5000AAKS
2x IDE DVD burners (the mobo I am planning to use only has 4 sata connections)
1x Q6700
4x 1GB DDR2
2x 8800GT
1x TJ07
1x P7N Platinum
and probably a half dozen case fans.

The only items not yet in my possession (but have paid for already) are 1 of the 500GB HDD, TJ07, and the P7N.

My current setup is using the 500W Enermax Liberty and 8800gts(640MB), but I dont think that would provide sufficient power for SLI and I believe the cables are also a bit too short for the TJ07 anyways.
For OCing, my intention is to get my Q6700 to at least 3.3GHz (that's its current frequency with my P5WDH and Tuniq - temps are not an issue so I believe that the 975x chipset is the limiting factor and the 750i should be better, though I could be wrong)

So my question is which PSU I get?

prices are:
$109($69 AR) for the TX750
$165($140 AR) for the HX620
$150 for the PC P&C 750 Silencer
$158 for Antec 850 Quattro

Modular would be nice, but I'm looking to spend under $150 CDN if possible.

Thanks in advance.

The deal on the Corsair is hot.

Step away from newegg. The corsair 620 is $115 elsewhere.

An alternate

Silverstone Strider 650 Watt-Modular ~$115 CAD

Only problem I see it that it only has 2 6pin PCI-E...no 8 PIN.

Edit: the 12V rail distribution looks a little wonky too 13Amps, 18 Amps, 16 Amps and 8 Amps.

i was looking at the 750W strider, but just like you pointed out on the 650W version, the 750 only has 6-pin PCI-E and newer vid cards are going to require the 8-pin.
