    I believe that the Antec Truepower range are excellant for the money so I'd go for it.

    Specs look fine to me, although I'd check on other similar power supplies from Enermax and Fortron/Sparkle, if you haven't already.

    That is way more than enough power for your setup and any setup in the near future (1-2 years).
