Is This a Good Enough PS

Well Enermax and Antec are both very respectable names in the PSU field. The Enermax noisetaker 470 is listed in the sticky in the recomended high-end range. I cant see it being a bad choice. I have a Enermax coolergiant 480 that Im very happy with. I got a better deal on it than newegg tho: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=17-103-495&depa=1

Im not impressed by much that Thermaltake puts out in general so I would stay away from that PSU..it may be fine but thats just MHO.

The Antec Neopower as listed in the post above is a great choice too if you want to spill a few more bucks than the choices you listed. One day in the future computers will have modular power supplys that look really kick ass and work great...oh wait the futures already here.

Theoretical Maximum
+3.3V @ 6.5A
+5V @ 11.8A
+12V @ 16.3A

287 Watts w\ a supply at 25C

realworld worse case senerio,
fans and HDD at one quarter load post spinup a static draw of 1.1A
CPU\GPU\Mobo @ 100% and an Optical Drive spinning up at 100% draw
+12V @ 11.37

and worse case (above) for a dual rail ATX12V v2.0
+12V1 @ 7.9A
+12V2 @ 3.4A

any of the supplies listed, even after they are adjusted for loss of capacity do to temperature (deduct 1\3rd off the amps per rail) can easily power that config
of the first 4 asked about Id choose the Enermax Noisetaker 470
but they are all ATX12V v1.3 supplies
as a note the Noisetaker linked is a ATX12V v2.0 w\ a 20 pin connector
and only one of the +12V rails listed
you really want the 24 pin version for future boards

however the other two supplies recommended (Neopower and Coolergiant)
are ATX12V v2.0 supplies
and Id recommend either over the v1.3 supplies

since you didnt list it, does the mobo have a 20 pin or a 24 pin connector?
an ATX12V v.13 being 20 pin, a v2.0 being 24 pin
24 pin supplies are backward compatible
