My seasonic SS-500ET is very quiet and was only $64.99
Corsair PSU's are pretty much the only others I know for sure personally.

Not very, but you ruin your power supply's warranty, and run the risk of killing your power supply. If you can solder, you can replace a PSU fan.
I'd get something like the Corsair VX550, or even the VX450 would power your rig.

They do tend to generate more noise, but it is possible. PC Power and Cooling are notorious for stubbornly sticking to 80mm and still coming out with powerful and reliable yet silent PSUs.
Generally you want to just stick to trusting reviews about them. TT PSUs with 120mm fans are usually louder than a PCP&C Silencer with an 80mm. Or do they use 92mms? In any case, you get what I'm saying.

I've got a silent Lian Li 80mm fan cooling my hard drives, but it's nothing amazing in terms of its cooling power.
