Default PSU help ASAP

Hey guys, I need a new power supply. I can get a ocz Powerstream 520 watt or a Antec true 550, which should I get?

It will be powering the following (eventually)

2 gigs of ram, 2 harddrives, a x1800XT/7900GT, an amd 4400+ s939 dual core and just a crapload of fans, which is better? I want stability, and hopefully a 12 volt rail that stays slightly overvolted.

The antec PSU,

Thanks in advnace to whoever helps

What's your price range? I was looking on Newegg and saw that the 520w powerstream and 600w gamexstream were priced about the same.
