What you need a close look at the "good" and "FOOBAR" lists of makes and model lines to consider. There are several better makes as well as several on the "bad list even some lines of model by good names but bottom listed.
Good: Antec(except Smart Power models) - Astec - AOpen - Channel Well - Coolermaster - Enermax(except Liberty models) - Enlight - Fortron Source (Sparkle) - HEC - OCZ Technology - PC Power & Cooling - PowerMan - Seasonic - SilverStone - Sunbeam - Tagan(older models) - TTGI/SuperFlower - Vantec - Zippy / Emacs - Verax - XCLIO - Zalman - Corsair - Ultra Bad: Allied - Antec Smart Power models seem to lack(recommend True Power or NeoHE) - Aspire - CoolMax - DEER - Enermax Liberty models - ePower - EYE-T - KingStar - L&C - Linkworld - Logisys - PowerMagic - PowerUp - Powmax - Q-Tec - Raidmax - Skyhawk - Star - Turbolink - ThermalTake(complaints heard some good some ???) - Rosewill - SilenX ??? ToPower(newer models) The next question of course is the price ranhge you have in mind. For a good 600-700w supply you will spend a little more. Sometimes you can grab a good one with a factory mail in rebate or simply on sale for a good price. How about a Corsair HX620 model?

What's your budget and what will you be powering? The Corsair HX620 that PC Eye mentioned is one great PSU in that range

You have a lot of great PSUs to choose from in that pricerange, most of them well over 700W. Some options include the Etasis ET850, Seasonic M12 700W and PC Power and Cooling Silencer 750W. What are your intended system specs? Any of these will handle 8800GTX SLI without issues.

Are you looking for single or dual 12v rails? The PC P+C Silencer is a single rail model there with 60amps. Those three each handle upto 6 sata drives.
