I am getting some new parts for my pc And it will consist of a fx8120, a HIS IceQ 7870, a xigmatek dark knight 2, a msi 970a g46, and it will have about 6 fans including the heatsink fans. What power supply should I get, I am going to be overclocking and I would like something something blue if possible

Do you want modular, semi modular, or non-modular? Maybe a Seasonic Platinum-660 if your looking to expand a lot in the future and since it goes on sale quite often (it has went down $90 3 times in the past months). Head over to http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales to find sales on all type of parts and just keep your head up for power supplies.

I would recommend a Corsair GS600, which is an attractive Blue power supply which would supply ample power. It also has LEDs which can be turned off or on, all at an attractive price point. You can buy them for around $80, or £55. You can buy them for around $80, or £55.

Good suggestions.  Also, my preference is always for semi-modular.  Reason being that having the Motherboard & CPU cable fixed makes it easier to channel when you're going from the PSU and out through the cable management.  The modular cables are hard to wrangle the first couple of inches as they come out of the PSU.
