I'm wondering which of the two is the better option,

Antec 430 Earthwatts:

Antec 500w Basiq:
http://www.frys.com/product/5045145?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN...

I have a small stock HP case, and my set up will be

XFX 6770
Phenom II X4 840T
6GB RAM
1TB HDD
1 DVD Drive

Reason I am limited to these two, is because I would hate for my PSU to come DOA, so want to get it from a store.

If you have any other suggestion, please say so, budget is 40-60, has to be small and not have tons of cables.

Antec basic 500w will safe for hd6770, it's recommend power requirement. While power consumption hd 6770 not too much.

the antec EW430 is easily the better options. it has better internal parts, much better efficiency, and more power on its 12v rail (powers your CPU+GPU). you would need to re-use your old PSU cable with it, does not come with one.
