Enermax makes some good PSUs. I have the exact PSU in the link and have been using mine now for over a year without a problem.

I've also used a few in other builds without a hitch. They are a great name and you won't be disappointed!

Enermax makes nice PSUs, but you might also want to look into an Antec or OCZ

If you plan on going with an 8800 series card, more specifically the GTX model, look for something a little more beefy than 500w.

Look for Seasonic as well Fortron. Both excellent brands.

I say Enermax over Antec. PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, Fortron, Silverstone are my recommended. (OCZ GamerXStream series is made by Fortron)
