Could you define "low price" please? Also a currency and location would help. Prices and availability can change significantly for different locations. 

Also, I'd focus more on the quality of the unit than the efficiency. Unless you're buying a load of them for multiple systems, you're not going to save a whole load on power between a 80+ Bronze 500W compared to 80+ silver or gold.

I have seen this one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438053

 

I really do not like to buy cheap PSU's remember they power everything in your system, if they power it they can fry it, cheaping out on a PSU in the long run could end up costing you a new mobo, CPU, RAM, HDD, SDD, GPU and fans all the things you have in your system.

 

Remember a CPU may cost you $100, you save $30 on the PSU, thats nice. Then the cheap PSU fry's your CPU, that $30 you saved just made you buy a new CPU and a new better PSU, you really didn't save anything, it cost you a whole lot more in the end.

 

(I know better PSU can fry things but that dosn't happen that often)
