I have been using PC Power and Cooling power supplies for a long time with
no problems whatsoever. I use the Quiet Power 750w in my current system
running two 8800 GTX cards and a couple of TBs of hard drives and lots of
other misc peripherals like a liquid cooling system. You have to make sure
your case will take it because it is an inch or so longer than lower powered
PSUs. With your system I would think that a 500-600w would be very adequate.

I am not familiar with HEC PSUs so I can't give any info there. Just
remember that the PSU is basically the heart of your system and should not
be skimped on. I always make sure to get a good branded and well known PSU.
I figure how many watts I need and then add 50-100w just for a bit of
overhead. I would bet that particular PSU is actually a 350-400w and the
500w is just the startup value rather than the running wattage. Spending a
bit more now on the PSU can eliminate some headaches later.
