Which Enermax is better?

I would go with the 460W PSU.

Note: Wattage is important. You also want to check on the amperage on the 12V rail. Anything over 20 amps will give you ample room. But, the more the better, since high end graphics cards and CPUs love 12V power, as do hard drives. I think the 460W will provide enough wattage AND enough amperage for your system while also giving you room to upgrade.

Personally, I think adjusting fans are unneccesary unless you have a very loud system. I have 4 80mm case fans, 1 120mm fan, a 60mm CPU fan, and 2 fans in my PSU, none of which are adjustable, and I don't have a problem with noise at all. Then again, I don't sleep in the same room, so that could always be an issue. Anyway, I think if you want adjustable, go with automatically adjustable. That way, you don't have to remember to do it.

Hope this was useful.
 
Thanx Gumby, Very usefull! I'll go with the 460 then. I also discovered the true blue 480 antec, but it looks a bit pricey. Thanks again
 
The 460 is nice, but there's also a newer Noisetaker 470W with dual +12V rails. The total wattage is around the same though but it comes with SATA connectors which are neat if you need them.
