This man speaketh the truth. I'd avoid Maxtor too, but that's just me.

Some things you can get away with buying cheap or unbranded, but RAM and PSU's are worth spending that little extra on. You're good to go on the RAM, but I'd go for a quality PSU. If quiet is your thing, then Antec's TruePower series are great.
