hope i can get some advice for cheap/budget psu with good quality n long life time , a few selection will be great n from there i will pick one the best for my budget . 
very very much thank you in advance if any one can help me with this matter . 
note:

(with no order of the best)
andyson h6 ad-f60gg 600w 80+gold
antec neoECO II 450w
cooler master masterwatt 550w
corsair cx450m
did you guys think that a good selection list ?
or maybe you guys have another selection list ?
what is the best quality among those selection ? is there one 
i prefer cheap if can , best quality , long life time . maybe i can do another upgrade after 5-7 years ?

the best here is the cooler master masterwatt, followed by the corsair cx450m. Never heard of the andyson, and the antec one is usable at best.

I'm only as confident on my PSU as the brand, In this case, the Masterwatt and CX450M both have 5 years of warranty. If you want a longer warranty, the cheapest options are usually Seasonic or EVGA, though only 80+ Gold units or above from these two companies are great.

how about seasonic s12g 550w is that a good quality psu ?? 

focus plus gold is too much for me , that one s12g is a cheaper one 80+gold 

what do you think / know about the seasonic s12g 550w ?

Even this only has 5 years warranty.

 

But really, you dont have to get one with longer warranty. The masterwatt will do just fine. Just swap them out more often if you're worried.
