Good Fully Modular PSU...?

I'm pretty new to the PC building community, and I'm looking for a fully modular 500W+ PSU. I've been looking around, but I'm not sure how I should be looking or how I can know if what I've found is any good. So, I decided to ask up the experts: the supposedly friendlier-than-most LTT community. Have any suggestions? Because I really don't know what I'm doing.

That ain't Falco.

What are you trying to run currently and what do you want to run in the future potentially?

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Damn you guys are fast.

 

What are you trying to run currently and what do you want to run in the future potentially?

A 4790K, Asus Maximus VII Hero, GTX 980, and two sticks of 4gb ram. (Does other stuff make a difference? Please tell me if I'm saying something stupid)

You could run that with an aggressive OC on a 350-400W PSU but there are just about no value options for that wattage. I would go XFX XTR 550W for single 980 or EVGA G2 750W for dual 980 (potentially)

XFX XTR 550W is a good psu.

^definitely this, I've the 650W version and it's just a seasonic rebrand, so has guaranteed quality full jap caps in it, plus the semi passive fan mode which can be turned off as well (though I'm not sure why you'd want to turn it off)
