Get the Antec, i would not use the Apex for anything except a paperweight. You may check out prices for OCZ also.

Although Antec generally builds pretty good PSU's, I do not like the Basiq line. I think Antec cuts too many corners to reach the price point.

If I needed a relatively small PSU for a build, I'd get one of these:

$40 after a $10 rebate.

that corsair jsc linked is probably the best option, even at 360W it can power that system of your's just fine.
