Seasonic Super Silencer 400w

[Speedo]

I'm looking for the right PSU (not too expensive) for my upcoming nForce4 rig. I will have a 6600GT in it, and a 90nm 3200+ which I will try to overclock as much as possible. I like the fact that this PSU has a 120mm fan, instead of one or two 80mm fans.

I can get this PSU cheaper than an Antec with the same wattage here in Sweden, so I wonder if any of you have some experience with it, or know how good/bad it is.

Get a better brand like Antec/OCZ/Enermax/Fortron/Sparkle

So its not that good? I heard Seasonic makes some high quality PSU's, but it doesn't seem as common as for example the Antec. Seen any roundups where it gets beaten by those you mention there?

I can also get Q-Tec PSU's here, with different wattages for a good price, but I guess that would be an even worse choice?

They make silent and highly efficient PSUs. Check out the review at http://www.silentpcreview.com

They're great. I have the 460 watt version and it's the best PSU I've ever had.

Enermax over Seasonic? HAH

I have the 300W version. Top-notch product all around.

See the Silent PC Review links above; it's the quietest, and just about the most efficient PSU they've ever tested (there's a newer fanless one that beats it out, but it's only a ~200W unit). It also handled their brownout tests without a hitch, unlike some of the other ones they've tested.

Seasonic is great I think, I'd rank them among the Tier 1 PSUs.
