Im looking for full modular, silent, 80Gold Rated PSU with 30A+ 12V rails

Corsair RM450 450W CP-9020066-EU enough?
or XFX 650W TS P1-650G-TS3X?

I plan to OC my FX-6300 ~ 4Ghz

I don't know your complete build but chance is you don't need more than 450W.
Use this tool to estimate your consumption properly: http://extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp
PSU tend to be inefficient at very low load.

You don't need gold rated if you aren't building something like a server that will be on 24/7, 80 bronze is enough.
If you are willing to pay the price premium though this one is a great model: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ssr450rm
Only semi modular though.
