Recommend a power supply

Here's my setup:

Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor Socket AM2 Dual Core Processor
XFX PV-T73G-UDE3 Geforce 7600GT 256MB PCIe x16
APEVIA (ASPIRE) X-Plorer ATXB8KLW-AL/420 W Power Supply
2 x Corsair XMS 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
2 x Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB

I originally tried getting the computer to post with the provided 420 W power supply, but apparently the thing is a piece of junk, I got no response. I eventually just went to CompUSA, bought a $130 600W enermax power supply just to see if it works -- and it did. Now I'd like to return the power supply I bought and try and find a better deal online.

I'm not looking for anything amazing, just solid enough to run my system. I don't *think* I plan on running an SLI setup anytime soon, my pc will probably remain as is for the time being. If someone could suggest a solid (and hopefully inexpensive) power supply that will get the job done. Links to deals or rebates welcome!
