I would go with the cheapest, I have one of the VP450 (non "P") and it's been pretty good, no problems and very silent.

Definitely Seasonic Eco 430W.

It uses high grade Japanese capacitors throughout. CX430 uses some Chinese Teapos (along with Samxons) which are not as reputable as Japanese ones. VP450 uses Chinese CapXons and Teapos.

Seasonic Eco uses a good quality long-life dual ball bearing fan, compared to mediocre sleeve bearing fans on CX430 and VP450. The fan and the capacitors are the parts of the power supply that are most subject to wear and tear, which means that for longevity and reliability, you want them to be as good quality as you can afford.

Seasonic is manufactured by Seasonic itself which generally has better build quality in entry level & low wattage units, compared to CWT (the manufacturer behind CX430) and FSP (the manufacturuer behind VP450).

SeaSonic makes a lot of peoples PSU's that are on the higher end to begin with as far as manufacturing, it's a matter of looking at a certain one and doing some background checking.

Corsairs seem to have improved a lot over the years, though personally I'd never use a CX and even some Antecs I use a lot actually depending one which one., the CP-850 I use is a Delta built one.

In general, Seasonic will almost always be solid from what I've seen these days.

Cheapest is always one of the worst things you can ever do with a PSU.

I don't know about the VP-450P model, but HardwareSecrets.com seemed to like the VP-450, and I've run two of them on some Core2Quad overclocked rigs with GPUs for a number of years, and they've been pretty-much fine.

Here in the USA, the VP-450 is around $40 shipped, and has one PCI-E 6-bit connector. The Corsair CX430(v2? v3?) is around $40 too, but that one usually has a $20 MIR, and the EVGA 500W is also around $40, but that one has two PCI-E 6-pin connectors.
