IMO cooler master power supplies are not very good. If possible, change it but this really depends on the exact model.

Is it a silent pro?

Look on the side of the PSU, there should be some name branding.

It's okay, certainly better than the Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus, but for that price I would recommend other units before that one.
Including these:
OCZ ZS Series 550W (£46 @ CCL Online / £47 @ Amazon / £48 @ Dabs/BT/Scan)
http://skinflint.co.uk/631078

OCZ ZS Series 650W (£55 @ CCL Online/Dabs/BT/Scan)
http://skinflint.co.uk/631079

XFX Pro 550W Core Edition (£47 @ Scan / £50 @ Dabs/BT/Amazon)
http://skinflint.co.uk/624026

Antec High Current Gamer HCG-520M £55 @ Scan
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/520w-antec-high-current-...

What case do you have?

There is a whole series of CM cases under the Elite name. But the XFX Pro 550W is the same size as the Extreme Power Plus 500w so it will fit.

If you want a PSU with detachable cables then the Antec HCG-520M that I linked uses the same internal design as the XFX, but is modular. It is slightly larger, at 160mm deep vs 140mm but it should fit depending on the case you have.
