Hi, this is my next setup and im wondering if i should get the HX520 or 620 version.

Intel CORE 2 Q6600 G0 (looking to OC 3.2Ghz)
2GB (2x1GB) Kingston 667
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P motherboard
(2x) Western Digital 320Gb 7200RPM 16Mb SATA2
(2x) Seagate 250GB 7200RPM 16Mb SATA2
(2x) Pioneer DVR-212D SATA DVD Re-Writer
Antec P180B with all 5 fans turned on
Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme w/ Scythe S-flex 1600rpm
graphics will be a X19050 then upgrading to ATI 2950pro.

Edit: im going to run this system 24/7.

Corsair has no problem's powering that. I just have a question, where do you need 2 re-writing DVD-rom's?

well the Corsair cables have 2x or 3x SATA power, no harm having dual SATA writers, not as if it'll add to wire clutter

The point here is that you probably don't need 2 DVDRW drives.
