Did you buy these already? Some prices seem great but that PSU is wayy overpriced. The build I listed has a much better quality PSU. The mobo will let you overclock better and the 280 will play games at higher settings. All at the same price as your listed build.
For 10 bucks more its got a better video card, case, and slightly better PSU. You could argue the PSU, but EVGA uses higher quality parts than in corsair CX

Im on a budget, can't be above $800 and I want a modular power supply and I can only use newegg or ncix for retailers

The PSU seems pretty good:

Put a 280x in there with the extra $50
That would push him over the $800 limit. And there are bound to be extra costs associated with the build, so going $750 is being safe yet it'll max out most games.
