Get something like 650W or even more if you are going to OC or SLI or something

Any brand in particular?

Wouldn't that be a "little" overkill?

Something like a 600-650W Seasonic, XFX or Corsair. It will give you some headroom if you plan on overcloking and when you upgrade in the future

 

Edit: If you decide on a PSU I suggest going to JohnnyGuru and check if they recommend it

yeah i guess it might be a bit overkill, i only just said 850w just for headroom and future upgrades. If yout not going to upgrade anymore any time soon then go with 650w.

Corsair makes good ones, not sure which one exactly is the best

Yea I had trouble looking at Corsair psu, never found a acceptable psu that was fully modular, thanks for your help!!

[MrSuperb]

Oh, I didn't quite get that ... 

 

A Be Quiet! Dark Power Pro 10 might also interest you. It is pretty much as silent as it can get but only is semi-modular.

Any brand in particular?

FSP, Enermax, Seasonic... They're top brands in making PSU's. All their PSU's are high quality.

[TheProfosist]

U can get a nice gold or even platnum rated seasonic for that amount.

Oh, so this entire build you listed on PC Part Picker is already bought? What type of upgrades will you be doing in the future?

 

A good power supply that you could look at is the Cooler Master V700, if you are going to SLI higher-end cards: http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-power-supply-rs700afbag1us

It's a Seasonic KM3 platform just like the XFX ProSeries 750w Black Edition, Seasonic Platinum (second generation - SS-***XP2), and Corsair AX760/860. It uses a higher quality FDB fan for longevity and lower noise output. It does not have; however, the hybrid switch in which allows you put your PSU in fanless mode at low loads. It shouldn't be a problem since the fan should be very quiet.

A SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold is a great choice for a modular power supply for your build because Seasonic makes great quality power supplies.
