PSU Reccomendations?

Alright, so I'm looking to get away from my PSU, and I'd love to save some money. I've currently got a P4 Prescott 3.0, with a x800, and a 1gb of ocz ram, 1 optical drive (soon to be 2), 2 silverstone 120mm fans (1 in front, 1 in back), and a Scythe FCS-50 on the Prescott. I'm probably going to re-use this PSU in my new setup, which will entail first replacing the mobo/cpu, with an opteron 165, then a 7800GT or GTX, but I might buy my friend's 6800GT instead. So, essentially, I just don't want my PSU to be unable to support my new setup. I'd love to have the option of keeping it when I eventually upgrade to SLI.


So, after that unneccesarily lengthy explanation, what's a good solid PSU reccomendation? $150 would be the most I'd want to spend, less is better!
 
OCZ POWERSTREAM OCZ520ADJSLI 520W POWER SUPPLY-NVIDIA SLI
Enermax 565 or any good quality enermax unit for around $100 - Enermax
Antec and Fortron make excellent units as well.

However, first i would test the new setup prior to upgrading the power supply. You can check the railings and stability and buy a new one if you see any issues. You might spend $150 unnecessarily.
 
Well, when i check logs of the railings power, it seems to fluctuate, some rails fluctuate .1, while most of the others fluctuate around .05 or .03. Is that enough to warrant change?
