I'm looking for a suitable 780ti to replace my already modular PSU, what is the best suggestion that is around £70 GBP.

Also, is it easier to replace modular PSUs? In my experience i've only replaced a non-modular one in the past, were you have to completely rewire all the power connectors. Is this the same situation with a modular PSU? when you replace them can you just switch out the box and put the old cables in, or do you have to replace these also?

Thanks.

Most of the time the modular cables are not the same and you will have to rewire everything when you change the psu.
For just a single GTX 780 ti, a quality 600-650w psu can handle that system.
You can go for this EVGA one: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120pg0650gr
It's decent quality, not the best, but it should work fine and it's 80+ GOLD and fully modular.
Or you can go for this XFX one: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650xxxb9
XFX is a better quality unit, but it's only 80+ Bronze (shouldn't make that big of a difference though) and only semi-modular (again, it shouldn't make a difference because you need the cpu and motherboard connectors anyways).
You can go with whatever you prefer, as...

You can go with whatever you prefer, as they should both be fine.
