I've recently decided to build a computer by buying all the parts based around this computer (simply because after trawling through forums and websites the mass of stuff out there is pretty overwhelming)

http://www.itestate.com.au/pages/product/pdt_product_de...

Now I've been told getting a good quality power is a very big thing, could anyone suggest one which would suit this setup while being a top quality brand, also anything else you could suggest (keep in mind I've never built a computer before) I've got no idea.

Thanks!!
