Quality PSU

Hi I am going to be running this system... finally

AMD Opteron 170 (Going to OC it as far as I can go)
ATi Radeon X1950XT 256MB
1GB PC3200 OCZ Gold Edition
MSI K8N Neo4 Motherboard
Antec Super Lanboy case (may fit?) http://www.tweaknews.net/reviews/superlanboy/

Wondering if this PSU would be enough or should I need something bigger. Note that 105-110 is already out of my budget ($100) but I've read excellent reviews about this so I may go for it. Also is the wattage enough? and Amperage?

Good choice of PSU. You could probably find one 15-20$ cheaper that would suit you fine if you waited around for a rebate or a hot deal.

To answer the question, yes that psu is "big" enough, ie has enough amps on the 12v rails and enough wattage, and is a brand generally associated with quality.
 
The Enermax dose not have 22A x2 of 12v (22x2x12 = 528 watts, not possible) power available to it, the 22A figure would be peak power, not continues sustainable power.

The Seasonic's build quality is about as good as it gets; quality Adda fan, high-quality Jappanese capacitors, ect. It's also slightly more efficient, and quieter. For those reasons I consider the Seasonic better.
 
Go with the Enermax. Solid Choice.

The company website may have something on peak wattage.
