If you don't upgrade to a beefier video card, this would be enough.

Silverstone makes a good PSU (I'm waiting for my 500 watt ST50EF-Plus to be delivered), but 360 watts is a bit wimpy these days. It won't leave you very much room for upgrading later on. It might even choke on you a bit when you're overclocking because the system will draw more current under those conditions. At least, if anything, it's got a decent total 12V setup (300W on the 12V = 25A).
Why so much Ultra hate? 
They make a pretty good power supply for the price. No APFC, and mediocre efficiency, but durable, well built, good rail stability, and ripple within spec.
If it's because of the Xconnect, then that's a different story. Different OEM, different problems.. Not exactly a steller psu there, but no reason to judge other power supplies on the past.
As for Coolmax, the Green series (at least the 850 and 1000) are decent for the money. Look elsewhere first though, better can be had for cheaper.
