Need a PSU Recommendation

It looks like finally after 2 years, my PSU is on its way to hardware heaven. Its started to whine now when under any sort of graphical load, aka gaming. Now its not a loud whine but it is audible from outside the case and since I planned this PC to as quiet as possible, the whine is simply not acceptable. Its a pretty good 450W PSU that has served me well but I think maybe its worth now going for something a little bigger to give me a bit of room for upgrades in the future. I do not however want to compromise on sound so here we go.
