I just found the same PSU on eBay (on Rosewill's ebay page) that isn't modular for $99.99 free shipping.

What's the difference between the CPU, and motherboard, and GPU between your pick, and my pick?

My cpu/motherboard is just the newer versions of yours. My cpu is 100mhz faster, and will likely run cooler, and possibly consume less power. My motherboard will support the next generation of cpus so that's pretty big. The gpus are the same. My psu is a lot better.
