I am planning a build soon and I am wondering what PSU I need. The parts are as follows:

 

4770K (Clocked pretty high 4.4-4.8ghz)

H100i

16gb Corsair Vengeance RAM

Asus Maximus VI Hero Mobo

1tb HDD + 120gb SSD

GTX 780 (Also Overclocked)

Some WiFi Adapter

 

I definitely want a fully modular PSU and also want to cut prices where ever I can, any suggestions?

A decent 550w would be plenty.

Where are you shopping/located? Budget?

Why nto semi-modular?

Not a specific budget if someone can convince me why a feature is worth the extra money I'll upgrade but I am super money conservative, I want fully modular because I want to upgrade the cables in the future to different colors. Thanks for the replies! Also I'm in the US.

What parts you can find and actually buy depends on where you're shopping/located. So yeah..do answer the question.

I would recommend an RM550, full modular, and really silent. I have one atm and it's great, no hiccups whatsoever.

EVGA NEX650G is as cheap as you can get for fully modular with over 500W of power (and not being some horrible POS PSU that will start a fire)

 

Here's the link to the cheapest site: http://www.microcenter.com/product/404601/SuperNOVA_NEX650G_650_Watt_ATX_12V_Power_Supply

 

It's a great PSU according to the reviews I've seen and customer reviews seem to reiterate that.

EVGA has great support and warranties as well so I wouldn't worry at all.

I'm in the US, sorry WoodenMarker simply skipped over the question while reading.

You need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

I'd take a look at the XTR: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550bbefx

Okay awesome, I had briefly checked out the RM series but can't figure out the difference between that and the similar AX series by Corsair. Also the AX with i extension.

The RM series is made for silence with the fan turning off at low loads. Ax is their flagship and Ax-i is digital for being able to be controlled by their software.
