I'm building a computer on my own for the first time and I wasn't sure which supply to get.

I'm planning on having:

AMD X2 3800+
evga 7800 GT w/ evga SLI motherboard
WD 250 GB SATA 3gbps hard drive
2x512 mb OCZ value memory
Antec Super Lanboy

Enermax Whisper II 535 watt or Antec Trupower 2 550 watt, i picked out these two mostly because its free shipping on newegg right now for either one

I was curious if the power supplies are really any different. I would prefer quieter if I can. Also, are there any problems fitting all that stuff into my case? Other suggestions about the components are welcome in case I missed/confused something important. Thanks for any advice.
 
Absolutely, it wouldn't even break a sweat.

Also, I know you're getting the evga mobo because it's bundled with the 7800GT but if you're planning on o/cing your cpu, investing in a DFI might prove worthwile in the long run.

Get an Opteron 165

If you quietness get a Seasonic S12-500 or S12-600

1GB of RAM is kinda low if your actually gonna use high quality settings in your games to take advantage of high-end cards/SLI. At least get a single 1GB stick so you don't run into the 4x512MB 2T upgrade heachache later.
