I wouldn't recommend any PSU's in the $20 - $40 range. The Corsair 400CX comes in at $40 after MIR. That would be the lowest I'd go.
CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W ATX12V V2.2 80 PLUS Certified Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply - Retail $49.99 - $10 MIR
Here are a couple more options if you don't want to deal with the MIR:
PC Power & Cooling Silencer PPCS370X 370W ATX12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Retail $44.99
Edit: Man, I'm slow today. You guys had a whole conversation while I was getting this post ready. 
Shadow703793 is right, you don't need an 8-pin CPU power connector. A 4-pin will work just fine.
unfortunately, it needs to have an 8pin CPU connector, this one only has a 4pin
