I need to power this:

Asus P5W-DH Deluxe
Intel C2D E6600 + Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 (moderately OC'ed)
4 x Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800 1Gb
GeForce 8800GTS 640 MB (worst case scenario... power-wise, of course :D)
Seagate SATA-II 250 GB
Two optical drives
NZXT Lexa (1x80mm fan, 3x120mm fans)

Would a quality 500W PSU be enough? If so, which one of these would you choose?

Enermax FMA II 535 W
Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT 500W
Coolermaster eXtreme RP-550-PCAP 500W
Antec TruePower Trio 550 EC 550W

Any other suggestions on the same price range (~100€/$ maximum)? Though chaces are I won't be able to get it here.

It's not a question of availability, it's a question of immediate availability. I don't want to delay my new system just because of a damn PSU :D. I live in Spain.

I could get the one you mentioned too. So you'd recommend it over any of the ones I listed?

As far as quality i'd probably rank them like this:

1.) Enermax Liberty
2.) Antec TruePower Trio
3.) Enermax FMA II
900.) Coolermaster (Yeah, that bad, I don't trust cooler master one bit for PSUs, only for cases and case fans)

I'd get the TruePower Trio though, because It seems to be able to supply more amps on the 12V, allowing for a better upgrade path. And because I love antec :)

Besides, I hear the TruePower series are quite silent, right? And the Enermax Liberty has a maximum of 30A in the 12V rail... which may be a bit tight.

Well I wouldn't really be able to assure you that, but what I can assure you is that the NeoHE series are quite silent (I have an Antec NeoHE 500) and it powers my system very nicely.

So there's a pretty good chance they included very similar technology on the TruePower Trio series.
