power supply, which one!?

[fiask0]

I'm going to be upgrading my motherboard and cpu soon. Not sure exactly to what yet, but the processor will be an athlon XP, probably 2000+ or greater. I'm running 3 Western Digital 80 Gig 8 mb cache hard drives, plextor 12/10/32A, 48x cd-rom drive, 128mb ti4200, sblive! card, 2 case fans. I'm currently using an Antec 300W power supply, model PP-303x. My question is what power supply would you recommend for my next setup? I am considering an Antec True480, but I've read posts concerning Enermax power supplies. Any advantages/disadvantes for either? Thanks in advance.

I forgot to add that I'm currently running an Athlon 1.333 ghz t-bird, with an asus A7V-133 mboard.

I would go with Enermax EG465P. I have good experience with Enermax PSU.

Yeah.

Get an Enermax.

How about QTec? Does anyone know if they´re any good?

A PSU test has just come out on Tom's German site. I´d wait until it appears here because there is an awful lot of crap on the market at the moment.

I've had 2 out of 5 or 6 Enermax power supplies fail on me. They came out of the same distributer and they repaced them no problem except that it took 2-3 months. Antec makes a clone of the enermax power supply at 350+ and I have not had any problems with the 2 I have gotten so far.

I have 4 Enermax PSU and all of them work fine. Most people I know have good experience with Enermax.
