hi every one just joined the forum i am building a new computer at the moment and haven't been messing with them for a fair few years so any help is appreciated here is my spec to begin with

intel i5 4670k cpu
asus maximus VI formula motherboard
asus gtx 760 gpu
samsung 840evo 120gb ssd
wd blue 1tb hdd

is what i got so far i have been looking at the avexir memory i really like them and would like your op on them because thing of getting a set and i am going to need a psu so what do you guys recommend? and the psu has to be fully modular as i would like to do cable management i like to keep it clean looking. plus i am going to have the cpu water cooled. thank you in advance for all your advice and help.

XFX 550W PSU is good, but is non modular, but at 46GBP it's not a bad option. They do a 750W PSU that is semi for around 80GBP. But Corsair do the CX line and a 600W PSU that is semi modular is around 50GBP. I run the CX 600W and have no complaints.

EDIT: Just saw that it had to be fully modular.. what is your budget for these parts?

nice choice of psu

the avexir will be fine, i would go for 2400mhz and then change the xmp profile in the bios to the 2400mhz speed if its not showing up as correct

The 2400 is good but led is blue I am going for a red led case so the blue led will look out of place.
