Well, the thing is, I have always sworn by Seagate. I have some external USB-disks that were on sale and are non-Seagate; 1 Maxtor and 1 WD, and both perform way less than the Seagate disks in my PCs and in my LaCie external disks.
Maxtor is Seagate currently, it has been bought by Seagate sometime ago.

But, then again, the Seagate-bug is definitely something I want to avoid, so, as much as it saddens me, that would mean exit Seagate. Btw, the 7200.12 you mentioned isn't guaranteed to not have the bug (according to the Seagate forum, http://forums.seagate.com/stx/board/...thread.id=4933), so I think I better play safe.
Current reviews are good for 7200.12, but I will go WD this time.

Which LG drive do you have?
Currently I have LG GSA-H60N (SATA), but generally any new SATA LG will do, check reviews @ http://newegg.com

Also 430W Seasonic PSU will do here without any problem, I have recently created (for gaming - for my family), a box with Intel e2160 CPU + ASUS 965G motherboard + 2GB RAM + GeForce 9600GSO + HDD + DVDRW and Mode Com Feel III 350W does the job without any problems there (works for about half a year now).

OCZ PSU are also not bad.

Picking hardware is depressing
It just requires knowledge and experience = some amount of time, bigger then smaller
