You can't go wrong with branded products but if you want to know how they perform you can search online reviews or go to an audio shop to audition the speakers. There are many good brands out there for amplifiers like Rockford Fosgate, Nakamichi, Audison, JL Audio, MTX, HiFonics and many more. Personally, I'm using Rockford Fosgate amplifiers. For speakers, better get component system where the tweeter is separated from the midrange/woofer. There are two-way and 3-way component systems and good brands are pioneer, Infinity, Polk, JL Audio, Morel and etc. As for the HU, I'd go for pioneer or alpine. For cables, you need to use the appropriate gauge of wire and the correct rating of fuses and some fuse blocks. For subwoofer, you can go with Rockford Fosgate, MTX, JL Audio, and etc. I'd go with JL audio for subwoofers.
The kind of equipment that you are going to use depends on your preferred setup. There are brands that are good for SPL - if you are after loudness especially with regards to the bass and there are brands that are suitable for SQ - if you are just after good sound quality.

If you're after a SQ setup then it boils down to how much you're willing to spend. An ideal system will cost money and it consist of a headunit with tuning capabilities (equalization, crossover and time alignment) like the Pioneer P99rs, a 3-way component speaker like Morel, a decent amplifier but doesn't need to be too powerful and a subwoofer. You can opt for 2 amplifier setup where one amp drives the front or the component speakers and another amp drives the subwoofer OR you can have a 4-channel amp where the first two channels drive the component speaker and the 3rd and 4th channel can be bridged to drive the sub. Usually, one subwoofer is enought for SQ unless budget is not a concern. For a more hardcore setup, you can get an active crossover for the separates instead of using the passive crossovers that comes with the separates.
But if you are in a budget, get a decent headunit that you can afford and an inexpensive separates or component system, subwoofer and amplifier. The budget headunit might not offer much tuning options but the whole system will still sound better than your car's stock sound system.

500w of power from the amp should be enough. For a good quality amplifier they will provide two ratings, the RMS value and the max rating. RMS is the minimum power rating that the amp could put out continuously. Same as with good quality speakers where as the RMS rating is the minimum power that the speaker can handle. So match your speakers accordingly. For instance, if your amp is putting out 100w RMS then it's not safe to power a speaker with a MAX rating of only 50W.
