Having trouble picking the right PSU from the limited options available

Basically what the title says. This is my build:

I'm a bit new to the PSU scene but from what I've been able to gather from my graphics card requirements, I need a 80+ bronze PSU with a minimum 30 amps on the 12V rail.

However, my main issue is the extremely limited selection of PSUs considering where I live. Ordering from abroad is not a feasible option at the moment so I'd be grateful if I could be given some advice as to which PSU to go for among the limited choices available to me from this link:

My budget is extremely limited so I'd like to go for the cheapest and most reliable if possible. Furthermore, even though I'm going for the non-K version of the processor, I'd like to clarify that I don't intend to overclock.

Thanks in advance

I think you need at least 600w.
Go with either the corsair or cooler master.
I'd go with Corsair if your budget allows it.

From what I've read here on the forums, Cooler Master is generally to be avoided unless I'm looking at the gold options. Ideally I'd have liked to have gone for the Corsair CX 600 model but the only CX model available is the 430W. Since you've suggested going for at least 600w, I'm considering the Corsair GS 600W model. Any opinions on that?

PS: For what it's worth $1~ 105 Pak Rupee

Thanks for the suggestion but that's not a possible option for me. I've only got limited Corsair and Cooler Master options available (which I linked earlier) so I'll have to go for the Corsair GS 600. Thanks once again.
