600 should be enough if you get a quality PSU, I would skip Ultra products entirely....
I would do as road-runner suggests and skip Ultra. Go for something more mainstream like Corsair, OCZ, etc., in the 600-750W range.
The Corsair TX750W?

The X3 should actually be pretty decent providing Ultra haven't fiddled around with it too much since it was originally released.
I'm not sure why exactly you'd be ditching your Antec just for the sake of something you can detach all of the cables from though, especially considering you're going to be using most, if not all of the cables that are hardwired on the Antec with the 9800GTX.

because all those wires are annoying and hard as heck to fit in back of the antec 1200 case making the back panel forced to be slid in back
HX620 should problably be enough, though I don't know if it would strain it...

I agree I have of those modular type of psu's , after I got finished putting the computer together I had used almost all of the cables , did'ent notice any real space savings.
