From personal experience:
EVGA and Seasonic are good brands to consider, and while Corsair isn't bad it not as consistent as the other two are concerning quality.
The little things like cables (Quality and overall size/thickness) and so on can add up to a quality unit or trouble in a box.....
Be sure you look at all that.
Corsair tends to have the cheaper "Flat" cables included that's not of great quality, the fat, rounded ones are better BUT be sure to note the size of the individual wire strands in the cables.
The bigger the wire, the more power it can carry before it gets hot and starts melting the insulation, potentially shorting out the entire system.
Just note any brand/make can have a bad one at anytime, even if of a model known to be good - It happens but the odds of finding one that's good and going to go the distance (To me) would be either EVGA or Seasonic.
Even if you decide on one of those, be sure to check the exact model to make sure there are no widespread reports of issues before purchasing. As said, every make and model will have some but when the negative reviews/statements looks like the plague hit the web, avoid like the plague.
Also from personal experience:
Folks tend to thrown down on lesser known brands and there are a few that's good, research will reveal which ones are and aren't good.
My own personal example of that is I have a pair of Rosewill Hercules 1600W PSU's and both are at least 5 years old now - With 0 issues to even mention about them.
One's in use right now and the other is for my XOC setup where I play around with the hardware and Ln2.
