I won't weigh in on your specific choice of PSU, but I will tell you that you will almost certainly be much happier if you target your SP20 for 1200GH or perhaps a bit lower. It's unlikely you'll ever get to the fabled "1700 GH", and the closer you get the hotter, noisier, and less efficient it will run. Your running costs will be lower both in absolute number and in terms of $/GH at the lower speed. Most past owners of SP20 hardware really think it should have been advertised as a 1400 GH miner with possible 1700 GH over-clock potential. With reduced speed also comes reduced heat, and reduced noise from a slower turning fan. The demands on your power supply decline as well.
I ran my SP20 at about 1000GH using a 1000W EVGA power supply, with power to spare on the PSU/wiring, and reduced heat and noise (the biggest benefit for me).
