Hi,

I would like some help on what PSU I would need :)
I will be getting:
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus Maximus VI Hero ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card
Cooler Master HAF X ATX Full Tower Case
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer

Would I also need it to be modular/semi modular?
I'm looking to keep it near or under the £100 budget range.
Thanks

Hi,
A solid 650 w will be more than enough for your system. Get something from the brands such as: Corsair(avoid CX units), XFX, SeaSonic or Antec.
As for modular, semi modular or non modular,it is more a choice of preference, there is no difference in quality.
 
Modular/Semi-modular just means you can plug in the cables you need and leave the rest in the box. It gives a cleaner look. You would need a psu of at least 550 watts. Go with 650 if possible. Here's a seasonic at 620.

This is a OCZ Modstream. I have used these and they are also top notch. This one should be set to the 700w option, more than enough. If it is not, there is always the little selector.
