Default Need help choosing a new power supply

The power supply is on it's way out in the girlfriends computer so I've decided to put my OCZ power supply. She thinks I did it to be nice but really it just gives me a chance to go buy something else for my system . I've decided on going with a 750W unit since I'm using a 24" monitor at 1680x1050 and I'll be running two video cards. Here's a few I had in mind:

1.PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W

2. Corsair TX 750W

3. Silverstone ST75F 750W

All three units are priced in the same area. I was just wondering if anyone can on deciding which one I should go with. Thanks!

EVGA Akimbo 8800GT - 1024MB
WD Caviar SE 320GB 16MB
Seagate Barracuda 320GB 16MB
Antec 900 Case
OCZ GameXstream 600w
XP Pro

Oh my god I just thought of something awesome! You should make your own psu and take a lot of pictures. That would totally kick ass. Sometimes I miss Travb from mpc... he would've done it.

Oh and go with PPC

I have a Silverstone unit, and love it. I would highly recommend Silverstone as a company, great quality. That's not to say Corsair or PCPC are bad, in fact I've seen rave reviews about both. I think any of those units would serve you very well.
