Dont buy a cheap PSU. The PSU is the heart of your system. If it fails, there is a chance that everything might go down with it. Give a bit more and get a good one.

The top brands are:
Tagan
Enermax
OCZ

Agreed, cheap PSUs wont give the wottage on the box either. Which is quite important if you going t be running two beasting 160W GPU's.

PSU is very important part of good rig , lack of power will cause crashes/overheating.
Not mention what can happen when some cheap ass psu will fail ..
