Antec, Corsair, XFX, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, Cougar, Enermax, OCZ, Xigmatek. Avoid Cooler Master, Thermaltake, Aywun and other cheap brands like they have a contagious disease. :lol:

Though there are high end cooler master power supplies that are pretty good, but those prices are way over 50 euros.

Here is a detailed list with power supplies rated, top tier is the best:

That is a very good power supply, but technically I need your computer specifications to give you a estimation of how much watts your computer needs. That way we can save money if your computer can run on less than 500 watts.

Cooler Master CM-690 II Lite Dominator

GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77

Yep, that power supply should work without any problems, if you really want to you can scoop down to a 450 watt power supply if you wish to save money. A estimation of how much watts your build uses would be around 300-350 watts. Though you should always try to get above the consumed wattage just to be on the safe side, 450 watts is enough for this build and future upgrades. I included a DVD drive in your build since it does use around 30 watts at load. No fans were included but they are pretty minimal when it comes to a power supply.

the case comes with two fans

Yep that does not really affect the power supply, I mean at most that adds around 10 watts.
