Thanks for the quick reply! I ordered it yesterday using your recommendation!

Though now I will have to google the difference between bronze and gold and what modular is

Modular means the cables are not fused into the PCB of the PSU, thus requiring you to plug your required ones in. This gives the advantage of removing all the cable clutter in your system.

The difference between 80+ gold and 80+ bronze isn't much, just means your system will run very slightly less efficient, but your PSU will stay cool.
