Perkam from Xtreme Systems has compiled another list of the best power supplies you can get. The list features seven different tiers and this time nine power supply models made it to the first tier. This means these units use the most powerful and stable components on the market and will handle a 4GHz Conroe or 3GHz AMD processor along with an overclocked Quad CrossFire or SLI setup with ease:
Enermax Galaxy
PCP&C TurboCool
PCP&C Silencer >610
Zippy/Emacs SSL
Zippy/Emacs GSM
Zippy/Emacs PSL
Silverstone ZF (Etasis 85/75/56)

Next is Tier Z, these models are still great but are a bit less powerful than Tier 1 Zippy units:

Zippy/Emacs HP2
