that power suppliy is quite expensive, are they mean to be a silent brand?

Thats not expensive trust me, especially as if a psu goes bang it can take other pc components down with it, so its worth getting a decent psu, plus i dout a 5-10 quid psu will be quiet.
For a cpu fan(which id try first as its cheap) id go for something like this http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/100451
says socket A but id double check what you have first before ordering anything
