i'd get the antec. my enermax is good, but it's starting to get a weak 5v rail and this appears to be a common problem.

I would have to agree with felix there.
Ive used several Antec, but no Enermax. Ive always been hesitant on getting one due to the problems I hear folks having with them. Granted, few, but still there.
Antecs have done me good from the get go. A 350 should be fine, but I might suggest going up just a bit. Never hurts to have some le-way in case you upgrade more later.

I have two Antec TruePower PSUs, the 550W and the 430W and both are great.
Dunno about Enermax's new PSUs, but the older ones were kinda crapy, had one that was very weak on the 5V line, about 4.80V idle and even lower in full load.
