I just put together an Athlon 64 3800+ w/ a GeForce 6800 GT PCIe 256mb card. I bought a case that had a crappy colorsit 480w supply.

For one, there's definitely not enough power plugs on the line, and with my video card hooked up, I can only have 1 HDD plugged in at once or it will not power up (except for about 1 second).

What is the recommended brand / wattage supply for a system like this?

Here's everything that I need to power:

- Motherboard
- 2 plugs for the GeForce
- 3 case fans, these can all be daisy chained off 1.
- 1 DVD Burner
- 2 ATA HDDs
- Front plate of the case (has temp gauges, etc)

I don't want to break the bank on a supply, but I need something of good quality and quiet.
