1. DON'T go with a hercules PSU.
2. try shopping at www.newegg.com
3. And in the future don't make 3 threads for the same project.

Do not get ROSEWILL, it is bad. Get a ENERMAX Noisetaker or a Antec.
And please, do not post in this forum. There is a speicifc forum for this. Mods please move this post. Thanks

The Cases, Power Supplies and Cooling section would have been more appropriate. Either way, what's your budget and system specs.

Here are known "good" brands:

Antec
Enermax
Silverstone
PC Power and Cooling
Cooler Master
Thermaltake
Seasonic
OCZ

Sorry if i missed any but those are generally the "good" ones.
Other companies such as Corsair are beginning to stand out also.
