OCZ is a crapshoot as experienced by me with a serious incompatibility
with my Gigabyte AMD 785 chipset mobo. That's both the 500 watt and 600
watt versions (I got so sick of RMA'ing those 3 times). That same OCZ
Modstream works fine for some strange reason on my old Gigabyte 690G
mobo. Go figure. Seasonic has never failed me and I've got 3 of them
running right now. Active PFC, perfect compatibility with everything
I've matched them with and the modular design keeps wire congestion to a
minimum. You should be fine with 600 watts unless you plan on running 2
5870's or nVidia 480's (not recommended). Really unless you plan on
running eyefinity 3x1 or a 30" monitor you'd find the best value in a
5850. You could always get another next year if games get much more
demanding by then..

I've decided on the COOLER MASTER for the case.
Let's talk power supplies. I've run a corsair for some time now and
its been great. What are your recommendations for a a gamer system
that will possible have two video cards in the future, one to start, a
bunch of usb flight and racing controllers, fans, and the typical
peripherals. I rather have more power than not enough. I've always
been a firm believer on having a quality power supply in my machines.
