Cheap in what sense? cheap for you may not be cheap for others. Specific budget. Ideally it should be around 3-4k.

The suggested PSU's are good enough for OP's current config and minor upgrades.

I know but OP wants as cheap as possible and corsair sure sells better psus than all those generic run of the mill psu makers. I think you are not recommending Op to go for a platinum standard PSU with good reviews :D even manufacturers are into making changes after reviewing a psu - you would never know. And lastly there comes after sales service in which corsair is pretty good.
