Both are awesome PSU's. Get th thermaltake if you plan on going SLI or get the OCZ if you plan on staying with a single GPU.

Also why not order form newegg? the OCZ is only lke $100 after rebate and im sure the tough power will be cheaper also.

I like my PSU, FSP 500w for $80. Can't beat that... they also just came out with an sli-ready version for the same price, Blue Storm II.
