I say go with the OCZ. I bought a 700w GameXStream, and am very happy with it. I've just started to really like OCZ products lately.

Plus, even though it's only 50 watts more, in the immortal words of Time 'The Tool Man' Taylor, MORE POWER!!!!

Between two, I would go for OCZ 600w. The BP 550w can't even compare with Antec EA500. Also, you can take a look at Corsair 650tx (4830 is a 110w GPU so don't need 650w but it is good price ) if you don't mind MIR.

$80?

I got this and didn't look back. ~$80 shipped (and a mir too) for 700w.
For pretty much the same price as the 600w, it's a great deal.

Good deal. This real power pro 650w is pretty for you.

And in the case I were to decide between the three PSU's (this one, and the two in original post) which would you suggest? Which would you buy?

The two in your OP and one in link? I would go for the real power pro 650w. The real power pro really stands out the rest of CM series. It comes with warranty.
