Help choosing new PSU

I am planning on taking my system to a new level by getting a second GTX 1080 but my 550W PSU is not enough. I want to replace it with a preferably fully modular (semi modular will do but not ideal) 650-750W PSU but i don't want it to cost too much as i am also getting a 1080 at the same time which obviously isn't cheap. Any suggestions for one which is under £100 or is that not possible for what i am asking?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you might need a 850W unit. Anyways:

750W would be fine for a dual 1080 system. The EVGA 750G2 is about $100 which is a solid choice.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.
