Corsair, OCZ, BFG, Antec, Seasonic, FSP, Thermaltake, Pc power & Cooling, Xclio, and silverstone all make quality power supplies. But as Aastii said, we need a budget/location.

This should come with an asterisk as only the Toughpower series is even worth looking at. And with the price Thermaltake puts them at they aren't worth it. Thermaltake and quality are 2 words that are quickly seeing each other less and less together. As for Xclio, they are mediocre at best. They're like Apeiva....

The top brands are Corsair, PC Power & Cooling, and Silverstone. The best budget brands are OCZ, Rosewill, and Antec.

Anywho, this should suffice:
OCZ ModXStream 600w modular PSU $79.99

Agreed, but I would not put Antec in the budget line. Some OCZ are pretty cheap made but other models are pretty good. With OCZ it depends on what model your talking about.
