Bindings for OSQ/Powder Ski?

Hi, I'm looking for some decent bindings for my new powder skis. I'm 19 years old, skiing since about 6 or 7, and like to think I am at least a level 3 skier. I'm about 5' 11", 155-60 lbs, and pretty aggressive. I just recently moved out to Denver from NH. My current skis are Volkl Alley 168 cm, which are nice for New England's typical hard, icy conditions and my interest in park. Although after a few too many bad crashes, I've become more interested in all mountain and powder, especially considering the conditions I'm skiing in now. After looking for a reasonably cheap pair of decent powder skis, I finally pulled the trigger on a pair of Argent OSQ 178 cm (pictured) skis for $200, which is about $450 below the actual price, which is why I bought them so quickly. I'm now looking for some decent bindings suitable for powder, preferably around $150-200 or lower. Also, my boots are Salomon XPro X90 CS 2017, a little small but perform well.
I would appreciate any suggestions or ideas!

Attack 13 B95 might need a tiny stretch to fit but should be OK on a 102 waisted ski. Where did you get these? I've never heard of Argent before.

Thanks I'll check those out. And yea I have to find bindings with wide enough brakes to fit that waist. And yea I think Argent is just some really small private company. I looked at a shorter pair of their freestyle skis a year or so ago. Called something like Argent Rip Cord, and look pretty nice. But I saw these on eBay for that price and couldn't resist. The seller was also one of the co-founders I think, Ander Tallett, or @ander04901 on eBay if you're interested to check out his other items.

The 95mm brakes will fit.
