edit: definatly don't get either of the 2 you were looking at, never heard of them so they probably suck. Anything that is generally really high wattage and has a cheap price usually is just that, CHEAP. :nono:

You do NOT want a Skyhawk, real problems there. :nono:

But for just $29 more you can one of the best there is. :toast:

The best would be a OCZ PowerStream 420W (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817104150). It's not under $100, but I think you can spend an extra $6. If y5ou don't mind buying from a site other then newegg it is much cheaper here (http://www.directron.com/ocz420adj.html)

EDIT:

This will be going in a system using the DFI board right? In that case you need a 24-pin ATX connector & 480W min.

DFI UT nf4 Ultra-DNo, go with the OCZ PowerStream 520W, as DFI REQUIRES a min of 480W for forum support.

The ModStream has the PCIe plug, I "think" the Fortron needs an adaptor.

520w OCZ Modstream.Excellent PS! :toast:

If going SLI, you need the PowerStream 520W, for non-SLI the ModStream is GREAT!
