PSU recommendation wanted!

I'm currently running a I7-2600k and a GTX 560, however I'm upgradeing to a GTX780 SC in the coming weeks, because of this I'm also needing to upgrade my PSU to somthing with a higher wattage. I have been looking around for a little while now and am hoping for some recommendations to help me make my decision. In terms of the PSU it's self, I'm looking to spend approximately £50 ($80) and am hoping for a semi modular design.

Thanks in Advance!

If you are in the UK, pcpartpicker lists 600W psu starting just above your budget.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

It's a nice psu and would be a good investment.
