Can anyone recommend me an excellent modular PSU for the following spec:

Gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3
Intel i5 2500k 4.5ghz
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB
MSI TFIII 7870 Overclocked
Crucial M4 256GB SSD
Sony DVDRW/CDRW
Fan Controller with 6 fans connected

Atm I have a Coolermaster GX650, the old version before it was re-released and it gets very poor reviews. High failure rate and people even claiming it can damage components without you realising because of it's high ripple. I've heard clicking noises coming from the PSU as well so I'm pretty sure it's about to fail.
 
That's a little bit on the expensive side. I know it's one of the best but I was looking around the £80 mark.

Total : £376.54 (includes shipping : £10.50).

 
Still unsure on the best choice lol. There's like 7 or 8 been listed there. I've seen many people on here having problems with corsair PSU's even though they're one of the highest rated.
 
Corsair PSU's arent all Seasonic which some people think. They are a mixture of low end stuff (Builder Series) CWT stuff for the TX and Gamer series I think then only Seasonic for the AX and HX. Would need to check though.

I can confirm this having looked for answer to this question just a few days ago. Corsair don't sell a fully modular Seasonic unit for £80 though.
