I'm searching for a good/reliable full modular PSU or my build with the possibility for future upgrades

Please help me out guys this is my first time doing a pc build and I want everything to be perfect, or at least as close to perfect as possible.

 

specs:

CPU: intel i5-3570K

Motherboard: msi z77a-g45

Graphics Card:Radeon HD 7950

HDD: WD WD1002FAEX 1TB

Case: fractal design define R4

 

 

p.s. I plan on waiting for the haswell CPUs to be released, and will replace the CPU and motherboard on this list with a haswell equivalant

The reason I want full modular is because I plan on sleeving my cables.

I'd recommend this.

It's compatible with Haswell, by the way, and has really attractive cables that are black. I recommend that you get something similar to these cable extensions rather than custom sleeving them.

If you plan to sleeve your own cables the only power supply you should be considering is the Silverstone Strider Series.

Why?

 

The Strider's have the easiest sleeving routes, the pinout on the striders is a direct 1:1 which means you don't have to deal with double-wires or crossovers.

I would recommend the SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W because they make good quality power supplies and this supports Haswell.

Of you were thinking of a cheaper alternative consider getting the hx750 from corsair. It's got the 8 pin and 24 pin cables already hardwired but will be used regardless.

I can second this ^, the Seasonic X-750 Gold is a great power supply, it gets about 96% efficient at full load, which is just slightly just under the Seasonic 760 SS-760XP2 at full load, and is about $40 less and has the same cables

 

P.S. the Seasonic flat cables are so easy to hide and look extremely well in a build as well.
