What PSU Should I Choose

Hi all,

Looking at upgrading my PSU as am currently thinking of buying either an nvidia 6600 or 6800GT (up from FX5200) and don't think my current ISO400PP 300W would be powerful enough.

Am looking at either a Hiper 480W Type-R Black:

A Seasonic S12 Series 430W ATX2.0:
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/104478

Or a Antec SmartPower 2.0 400W:
http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/90613

Am on a bit of a budget so don't really want to be spending much more than that, though was wondering whether these would be up to the job, and which out of them do you think is best?

Cheers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

well personally i've got a Tagan TG330-U01, good reputation and a three year warrenty
 
Of those three, the Hiper or Antec would be the best bet, since they have basically the same amperages across the 12V, 5V, and 3.3V rails. The Seasonic isn't bad either, but the other two just have more amperage.
