Power supply for Ultra D

[Showtime]

Hi,

I am looking for a new ps for the following system. I've read that some power supplies don't play well with this mobo. I'd like to spend less than $100. Modular would be nice, but reliability is my top priority. Something like the Antec true550 EPS12V.
Needs at least 480w, +12v @36amps+, 24 pin and a 4 pin pci-e connector.

DFI Ultra D
1-2 gig of Corsair VS (if I can get it to go or some better ram if it doesnt work)
Oc'd 3000+ Venice or maybe a dual core or opty later.
7900 GT
74 Raptor + one large hd later
2 optical drives
Audigy 2
2 case fans
Antec TrueControl 550 (old 20 pin version)

TIA!

Amazon has a TPII550 for $90 shipped. Should I grab one or is there a better a better one for around the same amount of money?

This is what I recommend and put in computers I build for people these days:
It has everything you're looking for - Stability, Power, Modular Cabling, Quiet...

Enermax Liberty 500W
Enermax Liberty 620W

Choose whichever one suits you better. There's also a 400W version, but that doesn't meet your requirements.

EDIT: Sorry, I missed the <$100 requirement... I hope you still consider it though, you won't regret it!

you can usually find a 10% off voupon and get it at buy.com for cheaper. i've got a couple from there, free shipping too.

the tpII is a good supply. i've had it on my dfi sli-dr for over a year. rock solid.

Those Enermax's look nice, but I decided to go with OCZ due to compatibility with my DFI mobo. Thanks and if anyone knows reliable vendor with low prices on the OCZ520 powerstream, please lmk. TIA.

btw you don't need the listed specs for the DFI. No motherboard is going to need 36amps... ever. It really depends on the system that you are running or what parts.

The extra (36) amps is recommended for the video cards... SLI. I am not running SLI so 33 amps should cover me now and even if I decide to go sli later. This ps plays well with DFI nf4 boards according to dfistreet.
I would love to find a $20 or even $50 less ps, but don't want to get burned later to save $ now. I am still open to recommendations. Newegg has it for $120 after MIR. I am hoping they drop the price a little before the MIR expires.
