Question P5N E or P5B E? Future proofing...

Hey all. Recently decided (as of yesterday actually) to put together the rig i've detailed below. However, do you think it'd more beneficial to future proof it a bit more and buy an sli ready mobo and psu?
Bearing in mind I don't really want to spend to much more I was thinking of the asus p5n e Sli instead of the p5b e. and i guess instead of getting the 520w psu i was going to get, get the 560w sli of the same brand...

the one thing that bothers me is that the p5n-e sli is cheaper. that doesn't seem right to me, have I got the right one?

rig to be bought

e6600 cpu
evga 320mb 8800gts gfx card
200gb seagate barracuda hdd
asus p5b-e mobo or p5n-e
silverstone zeus 520w psu or 560w silverstone zeus
2x 1gb g.skill 800mhz ram
