help needed!

hi!

i was hoping that you guys and gals might be able to help me out..
My setup is as follows (at the moment!!)

NF7-s Rev 2 with latest bios released installed
xp2500 @ 2.17ghz (10.5x206) @ 1.625vcore (set in bios) very stable (at the moment)
geforce 3 ti 200 )going to upgraded to a 9800 pro soon)
adaptec 29160LP card & a seagate cheetah 36gig HD 10k spin HD
maxtor 120 gig hd - storage
pioneer dvd-rw/rom drives
chenbro gaming case
spire falcon rock 2 cooler
standard 360w psu

now i have been having problems of late (i imagine due to the lack of power my current psu gives) as i have recently plugged in my scsi drive and things start shutting down...
i was thinking of upgrading to these few bits as i figured it would garrentee better performance than i have currently...

Antec true power 550w psu
Vantec Nexus NXP-305-SL Fan & Light Controller (with the 2 lights and loads of connections for under £27!!)
thermalright slk-900a/u heatsink
vantec tornado 92 mm fan

now the reason for the fan controller is that i can control the noise of the two 120mm fans i have at the moment (but i cant use them because of my current psu and the noise would bug me) and the 92mm tornado i would like to get for my heatsink that i buy.
im a little confused as to which thermalright heatsink to buy, so which one would anyone heartly recommend? and is the hardware i have mentioned buying any good? should i consider changing anything?

im sorry for the long message, but im a little confused and wanting some good advice as to what to buy..
thank you for your time and i look forward to the replies thanks again
