Some help with picking a basic PSU

Building a mini-ITX box and looking for a basic PSU out of the following list:

http://www.msy.com.au/nsw/ultimo/83-350w-525w

Any out of that category. Will be a basic box, nothing flash with a 4560, 2 sticks of RAM, one M.2 SSD and a hunk o junk 3.5" scratch drive. Maybe another scratch SSD drive in future. Preferably 14cm deep. The PSU selection isn't that impressive over here, was looking at a Corsair VS450, unless a cheaper model is recommended?
 
Out of those choices I'd go with:

Antec Neo Eco II 450w
Corsair VS450
Corsair VS350

You could go with the Corsair VS350. If you only have a CPU, RAM, SSD, and HDD, 350w should have you well covered, but I don't know if you have future upgrades (outside of additional SSD) in mind and want a 450w for that reason. Although there isn't much price difference between the larger and smaller unit.
 
Its a mini-ITX case so there really aren't any upgrades you could actually fit in the case anyway. I've settled on the Antec Basic VP 500w. The VS seems even more ultra cheap (and not in a good way). Thanks for the input though.
