CoolerMaster or Thermaltake Power Supply

I am wondering which power supply will be best for my system

Here are the spec I'm after

ASUS P5n32E-SLI Motherboard
Intel Q6600 CPU - Thinking of OCing
4GB [2x2GB kits (2x1GB)] A-DATA Heat Spreader RAM
2x Zotac 512MB 8800GTs in SLI - Thinking of OCing in the future
2x Seagate SATA 500GB @ 7200rpm
2x DVD-RW Drives
D-Link PCI DWL-G520M MIMO 108G Wirless card
Leadtek DV2000 1394-PCI TV Tuner
Zalman CNPS 9700-LED cooling

all in an Antec Nine Hundred case

I've been told 750w PS is enough but I'd like some more opinions

I've been looking at The Colermaster RealPower Pro 750w and the Thermaktake ToughPower 750w

Is 750w enough (or should i go for more) and are these power supplies be enough to run this system and do they have enough PCI-E plugs

I'd appreciate some advice, thanks

I am also planning on OCing my CPU and maybe my graphics card... will 750w still be enough? I also wouldn't mind it being futureproof for when i consider upgrading parts in a few years

I read on the sticky that for 2 8800GTs.. a 600w PSU is recommended...but i am running a lot of other powerful parts in my system ***see above***

My (only) choices are:
Coolermaster RealPower Pro 750w or 850w
Thermaltake ToughPower 750w or 850w


PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
 
they are the same price

I was wondering whether the two had any different features that might give it an advantage over the other...

Would 750w be enough though??? If I had 2 OCed 8800GTs and an OCed Q6600
 
The Thermaltake is modular while the Coolermater has an extra set of 8 pin PCI-E connectors (not in use with 8800GTs, but will likely be required for a lot of future cards).

Either PSU will provide sufficient power for a system like that, and both are SLI certified for dual 8800GTs. I don't really think that there's much separating the units, both are good quality and I doubt you'd be disappointed with either.
