I'd look at XFX, Seasonic, Antec HCG or Neo Eco or Rosewill Capstone for good cheap PSU's.

@byza thanks for the quick reply. One question would silverstone be a good brand or?

Some are good, some not so good. Here is a basic guide to power supply quality. It's a bit outdated but pretty good still.

You can also look at a EVGA G2 PSU, I would recommend a 650 watt min. 750 watt will last you several upgrades.
