just curious, that seems like a lot of power to feed through a psu with a system attached.

Yes, the antec will power the system + tec. The 172W TEC's when driven at 12V will draw around 100W of power and provide around 100W of cooling effect*.
* - By "Cooling Effect" I mean capable of keeping up to a 100W heat load at or below ambient. For less heat-loads they will be substantially below ambient.
