This is a rough look at what I'm going to be running:

Case - Antec 900
CPU - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
Memory - OCZ 4GB PC2-8000 Platinum
HDD - 500 GB Samsung HD502IJ Spinpoint (might add a 1TB one at some point)
Optical Drive - Samsung 22x SH-S223F DVD±RW
Sound - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCI-Express

Would this PSU be good enough:

OCZ 780W ModXStream Modular PSU (http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/OCZ+780W+ModXStream+Modular+PSU+?productId=29097) or would I be better going up to 900w?

Graphics card is likely to be one of the new 4850s or 4870s, haven't made my mind up yet.

Would it allow for much headroom if I had to upgrade stuff?

Also is it a reliable one?
