Depends on your location, and whether you're ok with rebates or not.

Ultimately, the best/most reliable 500W PSU is a tough one. 500W range is more like it.
The Seasonic S12II is $35 after rebate. An older platform, but a quality PSU

The 2017 revisions tto the Corsair CX lineup (CX450 and CX550) are $45 and $50 respectively:

The SeaSonic G550 is $49 after a $20 rebate - and one of the best cost : performance on a newer platform available today:

But, obviously, those are based on US pricing and YMMV if you're elsewhere
