Some Gainward fans are fanless. Like the Nvidia GforceFX line. Great
performance and not too expensive. From personal experience, I would
not recommend Inno3D cards although they're relatively cheap. If you
want you can remove your video card's fan, and buy a video card hsf
for it. Makes it more reliable when the fan gets stuck, the heatsink
is still there to prevent it from frying.

For PSUs, I highly recommend Antec. Get those with suitable voltage
for your rig (ie >= 400v recommended for AMD AXP) and if you have lots
of hard drives, etc. It also helps to have a good AVR and UPS to
protect it from power zaps.
