Hello!
So I am thinking about overclocking the CPU, and will almost for sure overclock the GPU. I want a good MODULAR power supply that can support both of these. I'd prefer it was below 100 to about 120, if possible. I'd also like it to be a well-known and reliable brand. Thank you!

best PSU's out there are, by far the Corsair RM series and the Corsair AX series. both are modular, with the RM focusing on silence with 80+ gold efficiency, were as the AX series focusing more on performance with a 80+ Platinum i believe (could be titanium)
also if you are looking at corsair PSU, stay away from the CX and CXM brands, as they are made from cheap, weak materials which is what gives it its attractive price. also the RM series is extremly affordably, with only the 850W PSU coming just over £100.
to decide on the wattage that would depend on the kind of overclock and ide recommend the use of a PC wattage calculator:
