LOL at all 3 posts above me because:

i just came in here and all i see is 3 replys with each containing a link to a corsair PSU located at BUY.com

anyways that should easily answer you question, but just to make it certain, I go with :
http://www.buy.com/prod/corsair-tx-7...206178325.html

give you more room for OC + other upgrades, and i read that you might run 2x 4879. therefore Definitely that one.

the reason we linked to buy.com is, because it just seems to be cheaper

2) The 8 PIN power connector on the MOBO is 2x 4pin power connectors combined in parallel to draw more power safely. 1x 4pin power plug will work, but you should think of an upgrade.
3) If you're running x64 OS and have more than 3GB ram installed but windows is only reporting around 3GB, Go into your bios and enable Memory remapping.

I've heard that OCZ's PSUs have problems holding the maximum current without fluctuation in power.

I would go with Crossair, I think I'm getting the 650W model for 2 9600 GTs.
