Need a power supply recommendation

[jei3]

Im looking into purchasing a new system in the next couple weeks and have decided on most of the parts, but I still haven't decided on a good Power supply..

Currently Im looking to pick up..

Thermaltake Soprano
C2D E6600
Asus P5N-E SLI
2GB Crucial DDR2 800
160GB Western Digital HDD
Sony DVDRW
EVGA 8800GTS 320MB

the only power supply that I was considering is the Rosewill RT550-135-BK 550W, only because its cheap and I've had good luck with my rosewill case/psu for the last few years.. I'm looking to stay around $60- $100 for a decent PSU. Any recommendations are appreciated..

Also I'm not planning on overclocking anytime soon if at all, but I would like to have the option of going SLI down the road..

Thanks!

Every build I have ever done I have done with Enermax. They make some of the best PSU's around....I spent under $100 on my modular 620W Enermax Liberty.

Once again, you are a perfect candidate for the Enhance 5150GH 500W PSU.. This thing might as well be stickied. This PSU is all 98% of computer owners need and has the best bang for buck of any PSU currently out there.

Best bang for you buck PSU right now is the Antec TruePowerTrio 550W for $65 shipped. This deal expires this week though.

And where can you find one of these?

I like my Seasonic listed in my sig. I can't even tell its on its so quiet. Efficiency is in the high 80's. Seasonic makes Corsair and PC Power and Cooling PSU's.

E-wiz was the main and cheapest carrier of the PSU and my first pick, but they don't have any in stock it seems. Might be worth giving them a call about it though if you are interested.

Thanks for all the recommendations! I'm gonna check all these out and order in a few days..

Thanks again.

Buy.com had the Corsair 520W onsale for around $79 after rebate. It's a nice PSU with modular cables.

$79? Might wanna go with that OP. The Enhance is about $75 without rebate but the Corsair is a genuine rebadged Seasonic. However, if you are the type who avoids rebates like the plague (me ) then I would go for the Enhance. Both will give you excellent power delivery and Quad Core and/or SLI in the future.

Definitely go with the Corsair, even if you have to spend a little more than your $100 budget. PSU is most important part of your machine.

I really like the Fortron Blue Storms. FSP has been building quality power supplies for a long time and produce some of the best units out there.

Corsair HX520 is teh win.

I've decided to go with the Corsair! $105 from zipzoomfly is the best price I've found so far with free shipping, so I'll be ordering tomorrow. Thanks again for all the help.
