    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.

    Those are both good choices.

    You do NOT want a Skyhawk, real problems there.

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

    The best would be a OCZ PowerStream 420W. 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

    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.

    No, go with the OCZ PowerStream 520W, as DFI REQUIRES a min of 480W for forum support.

    Either, they are both good.

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

    Excellent PS!

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