I'd go with the Silverstone DA650 but thats just personal preference. The corsair is also an excellent choice.

I second the Corsair 620. You could probably get away with the hx520 but you do have a lot of HDs so it's probably a good idea to get a little more juice. buy.com and provantage.com typically have the best prices on Corsair psus.
