The only PSU you listed that is not complete crap is the Corsair. It's so much better than the others...

However, it might struggle with those two (well 4 really) GPUs.

This Hiper type M would be a good choice as well:

Now for the really bad news:
Your CPU will totally bottleneck your performance, and you will see no improvement when you add the second GX2.

Some of the newer Phenoms might not bottleneck too bad if the game was multi-threaded.

Although there are no tests on this GPU that I know of, results would be similar to this test:

Keep in mind that this is for a SINGLE card. Bottlenecks would be far more exaggerated with two.

The rest of the brand may be crap, but the Xclio Greatpower is actually a Tier-2 PSU, right up there with Corsair and the better OCZ and Antec models.
Still, the PC Power & Cooling one linked by bobbknight is Tier-1.

There exists a list of PSUs that is sorted out into various tiers (levels) based on quality. Here is one edition of it:
