Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my pc a little bit, mainly the graphics card which is a sapphire radeon hd 7870. I'm also considering a new power supply but don't want to be spending massive amounts on one. My build is the following,

intel core i5 3570k
asus p8z77-v
sapphire radeon hd 7870
silverstone tech strider 400w
8 gb crucial ballistix ram (also hoping to add another 8gb but will depend on how much I have left over from the gpu and power supply)

If you tell me if you want a modular one or anything special i can look for one
I would recommend the r9 390 because it beats the 970 in most cases (benchmarks)
there were only one or two exceptions were the 970 got a few fps more so i would go with a R9 390 :)

If you take a look at your psu youll notice that there are a lot of cables
And a modular psu is just one where you can plug in the cables you need yourself so you dont have any unused cables in your case
And a non modular is just the opposite
The parts always depend on what your budget is
I personally would recommend the r9 390 instead of the 970
If you want i can pick you a r9 390 and the psu for 500 $
