yea, get a branded psu with at least 80% efficiency.
most 80+ certify psu should have at least 80% efficiency. biggrin.gif

efficiency has nothing to do with this.... doh.gif
and to cf 2 hd5870,a 600w psu is enough.[ati recommends 600w only,and the y always recommend more than enough aka lots of headroom]

matrix,the reviews that you posted aren't good psu reviews.
bearing in mind that most psus in a single range is a modification of a single design,here's the review for the 750w unit.

as you can see there's too much ripple and noise.if it's a cheap unit like the cm epp,then it's a given but on units with such price you can get better ones like this one

Added on August 23, 2010, 8:10 pmstill,that's not to say it's a bad unit,it's just that for the price you can get better ones.
