I would go for enermax. My friends and I have pretty much always gone with them and haven't had any problems. Antec is also a good brand if I'm not mistaken though

Antec is reliable brand. If all you have installed is what you show (plus a few fans, I assume), 400W is more than you would ever require.

If you're in the mood for a new case you can get case/power supply combos for almost the same price as just a power supply. Check out cases at pricewatch.com.
The vast majority of power supplies work fine. If you spend twice as much for one your risk of failure just went from like 2% to 1%, which doesn't seem like a good payoff to me. But if you're loaded with $ then why risk 2%. Power and Cooling makes the best supplies imo.
