Corsair, pc power and cooling, Xigmatek and seasonic are great PSUs... Try to look at them...

try this

http://www.extreme.outervision.com/p...ulatorlite.jsp

calculate the power you need .... get a PSU with max power of another extra 50% (150%) of what you get ....

EDIT :
eg:

PSU calculator says = 400W

recommended = 400x150% = 600W
