1000w+ is only necessary if you go triple/quad SLI/CF or SLI/CF for dual GPU cards IMO
Yeah, how efficient the new cards are is going to play a major role in my PSU selection. I also want modular for better cable management... Non-modular is a total pain in the ass.

I really like the look of the Corsair HX/TX-M series, or the XFX Pro line.

OCZ PSU = no-no? There's a really good deal on at NCIX for an older Z-series 1000-watt unit. $139 after rebate.
