I usually go with the Corsair CX 430 models for my workstaition builds but they are nothing special and if you have a graphics card pulling lots of juice you probably want something a tier higher. I personally go with the Rosewill Capstone units for my own personal builds. They are a little more reliable.

hmm....hard choice. They are mostly the same.
CX 430W would be better because VS not being seemingly certified and Cm B series not being tiered yet.
But CX430 won't leave you any space for future upgrade.
CM B just might be higher quality and has enough power to fit gpu upgrade in the future. But the quality is still quite unknown.
Corsair VS 550W would have the most upgrade slot, but not being certified, makes it a bit shady.

The xfx 550 w http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-xfxts550w
Much more reliable than corsair's cx lineup. Corsair's quality products start at the rm series. Also, the xfx unit is by far the best option for your build and your budget.

it can dmg some of your hardware if it it doesnt deliver good power to them, mostly your hard drives will be affected. but it can take out your motherboard if your not careful.
even if it doenst dmg anything, it might not have a long life span if you go with something of a cheaper quality build. I am pretty sure everyone here will always recommend to not go cheap on a power supply.
