    Hi,

    If you want the best then I suggest looking here:

    Other good makes would be Antec, Enermax or Fortron.

    You're damn lucky that PSU didn't take anything else with it.

    Realistically watercooling is... a bit overhyped. it's very kewl no doubt and it is more effective than force air cooling but if you want to go exotic, you might consider vapor units. Up to that point, a solid forced air setup is more than enough :)

    Another PSU company to consider is Thermaltake and the ION line from Vantec (stay away from their Stealth line)
