Which power supply should I purchase?

Question

I am between two power supplies (although, if you have other suggestions feel free to add them). Here are the links to them 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006
I can get this at buy.com for $90. Single rail at 60AMPS!

This I could get for 69.99 AR with a newegg code. But many rebates from OCZ never seem to come back according to reviews on other products of theirs...

My computer

9950 phenom X4 quad 2.6ghz 
Nvidia 260GTX Core 216 (note: this is the core 216 model...not the same as the regular 260GTX) overclocked (XFX Black edition)
2 x 2gb ddr1066
3 x hard drives
2 x 120mm fans
2 x 80mm fans

Thanks for your help!

to tell the truth for the computer spec you are talking about, any one of these power supply are much too powerful, you system can run on a 450w in my opinion actually you only need 362 from your specs but to remain on safe side if later on you like to add things on id get a 500w.   to make sure 100% check this website out it calculates the psu wattage needed. 
just be carefull to put single processor as this mean the actual amount of processors you got not type.(ex. intel core 2 quad 9550 is a single processor)
