Solution
CX and VS are crap for this use. If you want one that will last, get either a Seasonic S12II or any XFX PSU (these are the cheap choices). The XFX PSUs have the downsides of being non-modular, but the cables are luckily all-black.
I own the Seasonic S12II 520W, its also available in 620W which is the size I would recommend for you.
I like Seasonic, they have making power supplies longer then most of us have existed and they are damn good at it.

If you don't mind spending a little more the Seasonic M12II is modular.

But what ever you do stay away from the Corsair CX and VS, the cheapest Corsair I'd get is the RMx or RMi - the Seasonic's actually cost less.
