El Cheapo PSU recommendation fellas

Ok my older backup PCs PSU died (sorta) and l'm looking at new PSU that. Now I'm looking at replacing my old Antec True 550.


Things to note
- this is my backup PC and i dont plan on keeping it more than 1-1.5 years
- Need x2 sata connectors
- Dont need PCI-e power since its an AGP system.
- Prefer PSU with Fan speed monitor cable

Here are three that are similar in price in New Zealand. THoughts?

ThermalTake 430W OEM

Gigabyte Superb 460W

Antec TruePower Trio 430W

(i know some of these dont have stuff I prefer but price rules above all)

Btw, couple sites with New Zealand prices...

Looks like the Antec AW 380 could be the winner.

However do think its enough for my system or would i need to go slightly overbudget on the 430W?

http://www.antec.outervision.com/ .... says around 324w but I'm not too sure how accurate that is?
 
ditto Antec Earthwatts series - were often on sale here in the US. SST's PSUs are generally OEMed by decent mfrs. I think those are by Enhance.
