I'm looking to upgrade my PSU from the standard one that came with the case. (Generic "500w")

My specs:

M/B: GA-M68MT-S2P
CPU: Athlon II X3 460 (Phenom X4 B60 with 1 core disabled)
GFX: AMD Radeon HD 6570 (Yes, I know. It does what I need to for now)
HDD: 1 x Seagate 500gb Momentus XT Hybrid, 1 x Seagate 1TB Barracuda

Cooling fans:

CPU - 2x SP120 Performance controlled via PWM adaptor (requires molex power)
Case (all controlled via NZXT Sentry LXE)

1 x modified Zaward (requires addtional molex to power modification)
2 x AF120 Quiets
1 x Antec Spot (80mm)

Now most PSUs I've seen now come with 8pin CPU plugs. My board is only 4 which is why I'm asking for help. Plus it's ATX20pin not 24.

Now this is where it gets sticky. I'm limited in budget. £70, £80 at a push and with a lot of stuff being Corsair in my rig (Ram, Fans and in future H100) I would prefer a Corsair PSU.

Google searches seem to throw up the CX and TX-M range for Corsair.

I appreciate any help that you can give.

Absolute bargain.

The PSU is made by seasonic, so yes a bargain indeed. Being modular is a great bonus too, no clutter of unused cables in the case blocking airflow. Just incase the OP wonders why we are so keen on it, I thought I best explain why.

Oh nice :) Did you manage to flog that other kit off too?

Only issue is that it's white and wouldn't fit my black/blue scheme :(
