Get a PSU suited to your sytem, PSU's have low efficiency at low power draws so no point going for 750+ watts unless you are definitely planing to go for a dual card setup and overclock.
The reason to go for 'branded' (thats just to say they've been around some time and have built up a reputation) is that there are specialist review sites that take apart PSU's and inspect the hardware and then test the charecteristics of the PSU under various load conditions. Ones being reccomended will have a good track record of providing good quality power supplies. If you're lucky you may also find a review article specifically testing your model which is reassuring.
btw 80+ was refering to efficiency not price. There are good 80+ psu's in the £50-60 range.
some of the branded PSU's are generally good and well priced and those are alright but some are hideously overpriced for a low wattage

No problems so far also corsair stuff is also made in china according to some quick google research
I think he's trolling.
I suppose a genuine user might read this thread and refrain from buying a rubbish PSU so not a complete waste of time.
If OP is not trolling then he clearly knows much more about PSU manufactoring and quality than us and we should let him get on with it.
And anyway I'd probably buy a well branded psu have I had £20 or £30 more to splash
