The Fortron PSU is better than the Antec ones, and its cheaper

I wouldn't say better. May-be just as good?

Since when is Fortron better than Antec? Antec makes some fairly high-end PSUs don't they?

I'm going with the Antec TruepowerII 380W. Should be plenty for my system and I'm guessing it's a little higher quality than the Fortron?

The Fortron is more powerful than the Antec (not just in watts) and they make solid, reliable PSUs.

+1. Also, why would you be getting AGP??

Yeah I'm suprised more people aren't firmiliar with Fortron, it's recommended for systems here all of the time.
That's a very good psu, but either would be fine.

because it's cheaper than PCI-E

Most pci-e card's are cheaper then the agp version's

I'm getting a 9800XT so I need AGP anyway.
