use the above site to make sure everything is compatible and to do price comparison.

I would get any seasonic or xfx that is 650 watts or better.

the website will let you sort by modular and everything

1. Personally, given the small prce difference, I normally don't recommend non "k" processors H series MoBos. Cutting yaself off from an SLI upgrade somewhere down the lkine eliminates 18-24 months of potential system life. $383 for no upgrade path / no overclocking versus $350-$375 for SLI capability and overclocking

2. 2133 memory is just $5 more

3. I'd upgrade to the Enthoo Pro

For this build, I'd use a $60 EVGA 750 watt B2 which will handle 2 GFX cards

This is a hybrid modular PSU..... Full modular is meaningless as from a design standpoint, there's no reason to have the cables that you must use no matter what modular.... only time I go fully modular for my users is when they wanna custom sleeve the cables.

Getting those last cables modular costs $35

what I think, ok the case is really pretty does it need to be that pretty/expensive to hold the motherboard, how often do you interact with the case? power button and when you build it. that's an expensive power button. a cheaper case with replacement/silent fans would come in cheaper. hard drive? SSD?
all in all not too shabby for a first timer. from experience, be honest about your needs. fancy options left unused are wasted money.
you said 80+ but nothing about budget so here are a few in a range up to $100 starting with the one I have.

That tier list is unreliable....The Corsair HX series, (well most of it) has lower ripple and better voltage stability than the AX series ...yet the AX is there in Tier 1 and HX isn't. Too many generalizations based upon limited reviews from model lines. For example... HC 650 - 850 are great....HX100 / 1050 are dogs

Other..... Some Earthwatts are terrible, some NZXT Hales are very good.
