If you're talking about the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX650, the manufacturer is FSP (Fortron Source Power)

They're usually described as average to slightly above average units. Nothing special but nothing amazing.

If it's at a decent price then it should be ok.

Otherwise look at some by Corsair, Seasonic, Antec or Silverstone. There are other good "brands" but I'd suggest looking up their manufacturers first.

Whether they are worth it, depends on the model. Old ones are terrible priced and terrible working. The new ones (some SuperNova or something series?) I heard that are quite nice but you need to read review of specific model.

It's always like that, for example Corsair has worst shit amongst his offerings as well as top notch HX series from 850 up (but not the HX 650, it's garbage for the price). But CX series is totally useless, except for CX 750 which is built of different core and actually works well. etc.

Scroll down a bit. There is also another fantastic website for this but I can't find it/think of it.

Watch the language there.

The specific unit you are looking at, the NEX650G, is based of the FSP Aurum platform. It's a low cost platform that has very good efficiency; however, offer rather mediocre performance due to it being a group regulated design. It's not a bad power supply, but unless you get a good deal off of it, you should be able to get something better for the price.
