A simple trip to the main site gives you some answers:

I'm using the OCz GamerXStreme 600W and I've had no problems. Very quiet, and cool.
Check out this article in specific even if it is a bit dated:

Would you say the Mushkin lineup of PSU's is good?dicecca112 wrote:Corsair is right now.
The 620W Cam easily handle 2 8800gtx and a 4X4 AMD System
IMO the ripple on the GameXtreme's is far too prevalent and detrimental to overclocking for my liking
I am getting ready to build a new computer and have been stuck between a few PSUs.

Actually, on newegg right now, the 650w Mushkin is around the same price as the 620w Corsair... With rebates of course.dicecca112 wrote:I wouldn't say that. Muskin is overpriced. The best bang for the buck is still corsair. I don't have any experience with Mushkin so I can't say anything else
I dunno, my build is about a month or two off, and I am bouncing around on which components I want to use daily.
