Rig will be running a oc'ed 3570k @4.5, 16GB ram, 500gb ssd and a gtx980ti all on a asus v gene not planning on adding anymore hardware. What wattage should I be looking at?

A decent 550w-650w psu would be more than enough for that (550w is more than enough for most single gpu systems). Any of these will be suitable:-

The supernova g2 seems good deal but won't work in my sff case as the power supply has a internal plug cable and only work when the plug is horizontal 
Really want a modular psu so have fewer unwanted cables.

It would have helped if you said which SFF case you had in the first post so we could check for any restrictions/compatibility issues.
Sorry it's the Silverstone ft03

The EVGA Supernova GS 550w then. It has the psu socket the way around that you need it plus at only 150mm deep is nice and compact which will make cable management easier. If you want a bit more headroom then get the 650w version. It's out of stock here but I just did a quick look around and it's in stock at several other places.
