HEC does actually make good quality PSU's. However, the extra wattage isn't always what you need to look for. In this case, though, it is fine.

edit:
As for the fans, you want ball bearing fans in a PSU. Brushless fans will be very quiet to start with, but will get louder within a year of constant use, and become unbearable or unusable within 1-2 years. (typically) The ball bearing fans will last for a much longer time, and will stay fairly consistent as far as their noise output.
