    I have both here in my systems and neither has ever failed me.
    Then think of my situation.
    You've got an essentially irreplaceable board, a pair of chips worth over $3000.00, couple nice vid cards, 4 SAS drives and you want to trust it all to a PSU you have faith in.
    Corsair 950TX should work. Or 1000HX.

    2 x 182W (GTX 260-192's)
    6 x "5"W (RAM)
    4 x "10"W (hard drives)
    409W
    2 x 200W (CPU's)
    =====
    809W

    1 x 24W (pump)
    8 x 1W (fans)
    =====
    32W

    You're probably looking at a max of 850W for the entire system at max theoretical load, including the use of first-revision hardware (such as GTX260's taking 180W/ea). You seriously should be fine with a roughly-1kW unit, especially a Corsair or PCP&C, or their associated OEMs (Channel Well or Seasonic).
