First, I'm going to assume the brands you listed are available in your area. You can Google "extreme power supply calculator" to determine your wattage needs. It seems a PSU of 500w would suffice. You can also Google your vid card to see how many amps are needed on the 12v rail(s). Make sure any additional power connectors are available with the PSU.
PSU fans seem to be a big problem. Always buy a PSU with a ball bearing fan.
Look at the warranty. Some makers guarantee their units for 3-5 years. Stay away from one year warranties. Check reviews on the unit you choose.

Good Luck !

I can confirm Corsair as a very solid PSU.
Been using this brand for the last few years (HX series) with no complains.
