Cheap out on a lot of things in a build, never the PSU
I'll also argue you shouldn't skimp out on a motherboard.
I once owned an Asus Ranger VII. When I turned it on for the very first time, it lost its magic dust, and fried my RAM.
RMA found the MB was faulty, so they covered the RAM too.
This is from ASUS too, so I can only imagine how the chances of this sort of accident rises as you reduce the cost.
I had an ASUS GPU do the same thing once, never had that happen before with any other brand.
