I aim to build a new homeserver lately.

Upon researching I found the RM550X by Corsair as a power efficient option under low loads.

The sad part is, that its available nowhere.

Does someone know a valid alternative, that does not cost more than the whole build?

I've been using Thermaltake GX2's. They're $50 and still maintain a Gold rating. For the marginal difference on an electric bill going from gold to platinum, it would take me 10 years to make up the difference in cost of the PSU.
