Antec 300 can hide the cables fine, no need for a modular PSU unless the OP want's to make it easier on himself....

It all comes down to the case, I think the 300 has better airflow, but the sniper looks more apealing... flip a coin....

First off decide your PSU requirements...
For any single card configuration out there, that 600W is more than suffice...And it is not as bad as you think...It is an 80+ certified and is modular too...
