Hey guys I've finally gotten to what I think I want to buy. I'll explain to you my reasons for going with certain parts and hopefully you guys can suggest some better parts that can do the same thing, preferably cheaper (I do not want to spend any more than I already am). I do not intend to initially overclock my CPU, hence no CPU cooler, in the future however my plan is to SLI the GTX 760 (therefore the need for a motherboard supporting SLI) and I'm guessing then I may want to overclock the CPU in which case I will just buy a CPU cooler and my motherboard already supports overclocking. I'm not sure exactly how big I need my power supply, will 650W be enough for overclocked CPU and SLI GTX 760's? If this isn't a good build for the price I am open to new suggestions that will be upgradable for the future, please remember this is Australian prices. Thanks heaps!

either one are fine iam2thecrowe is right that you only need a good 650w psu but i personally get a psu that's a little stronger for head room
and if you had to pick between those two i would put in the extra money for the modular one because then there will be less of a cable mess
