Yes, if you're not going to be overclocking, the Xeon is a much better choice than the 4790K, as it performs almost identical and it's the price of an i5. Note that it also does not contain onboard graphics, but by the looks of it, you won't be needing them with that 780.

That specific Xeon he listed is pretty much an Intel Core i7 4790K, but with a locked multiplier (Not OC'able), slightly lower clock speed, and no built in iGPU, for the price of an i5.

Can you suggest a Modular PSU for ~50-75$?

The Corsair CX600M and the EVGA SuperNOVA 750B1 seem like excellent choices. I own the Corsair CX600 and I've had no problems with it.

If you're not overclocking and have no need for the iGPU, then yes.
