Default Bangtastic $800 System [Input Needed]

I've got $800. I want a full, from scratch i7 build. Go!

I can't go over budget at all, and rebates don't count since I only have $800 to spend.

I'm looking at my options and I'm having trouble finding a PSU that's affordable and will sufficiently support all my hardware.

I'll be buying the i7 920 from Microcenter tomorrow for $200. So I need to find all the other components for $600 or less. This piece is essential and won't be changed out.

Currently I'm looking at the following full build.

$199.99 - Core i7 920
$59.99 - Western Digital WD6400AKS 640GB
$169.99 - Recertified XFX 1GB 4890
$95.99 - Patriot Viper 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1333
$167.99 - ASUS P6T X58

What is the cheapest power supply that I can get that will keep my system sufficiently juiced? I won't ever be doing SLI, so theres not much of a problem of upgrading in the future.

I'm going to try and squeeze out some more money to add on if the PSU is cheap enough to buy a Lian-Li PC-A05NB. (Or a soundcard)

For $100 after promo code EMCLVNP33, there's this psu. It's modular, 750 watt, and Antec. If you're trying to go a little cheaper, there's a 630 watt Rosewill psu for $55 after promo code EMCLVNP23. I hope this helps.
