So anyway I think there's nothing more to discuss about the graphics card..
I'll definitely go for the Sapphire HD 7850 OC Edition IF I decide to/can buy a graphics card.

Now coming back to PSUs which modular PSU which you recommend for a card like that and my to-be setup?

Component | Make
Processor|Intel i7-2600k
Motherboard|GIGABYTE UDZ77X-UD5H-WB WIFI
RAM|G.Skill RipjawsX 1600Mhz 4G x 2
CPU Cooler|Noctua NH-D14
Cabinet|Corsair Carbide 500R
Graphics Card|Sapphire HD 7850 Dual Fan OC Edition

Don't go for the OC edition. The reference version also comes with the same dual fan cooler(OC it yourself). If you go for the OC one you'll end up paying quite a good amount for something which you could've done yourself.

if no sli 650.750 hx corsair will do or seasonic x760 but 5 years warranty only

Corsair HX850 can even run 2x GTX680s. Want more? :p

And, HX850 have 7 years of warranty, I can confirm that as I have one.
Practically only difference between HX750/AX750 & HX850/AX850 being fully modular and semi modular.
All four of them are 80+ Gold certified, although Corsair markets HX series as 80+ silver.
So, my vote will go to HX850 over AX750. At same price point you will get extra 100Watt of power. :)

Let the link talk: Ecova Plug Load Solutions

In search-bar over companies, type corsair & see the results. ;)

What's the difference between Semi-modular and Fully Modular?

The Seasonic X650/X750 looks solid with good reviews and is fully modular. Any comments? Does anyone know the prices of these?

Semi modular is that type of modular PSu where every cable except for 24 pin ATX, 8 pin EPS, and 2X 8-pin PCI-E cable are modular.
In fully modular PSU, everything is modular, every cable.

The Seasonic X650/X750 looks solid with good reviews and is fully modular. Any comments? Does anyone know the prices of these?

Yeah, they looks good, but have no idea about availability, reliability & warranty period & warranty quality.

Okay thanks. If those are the only non-detachable cables in a semi-modular PSU then i think it would work as well considering that semi-modular PSUs will be cheaper than fully modular ones. I'm open to suggestions to any one of those categories but definitely not fully non modular ones(They're just ugly :-?).

Also I think I wouldn't need more than a 650W PSU considering that I won't be having an SLI setup. Am I wrong? Please tell me why I'd need more(if at all).

Which SLI or crossfire are you talking about? Power consumption will depend on your graphics card.

a 650W PSU is enough for a single GPU ( OCed ) setup ( HD7000 and GTX 600 series gfx cards ) with an Oced 2600k.

Thanks. Just what I thought :)
Any suggestions? Fully/Semi Modular only

EDIT:
Does anyone know the price of Segate 2TB ST2000DM001? (8.6k on theitwares.com) (Any cheaper?)
Link please!

hard disk@try delta peripherals,but i would advice you to stick to 1tb since failure rates of 2 tb drives are more

I found the Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM SATA Internal Desktop Hard Drive (ST1000DM003) for 5.2k. Are there any WD 7200RPM 1TB ones cheaper than that? I cant seem to find any..

Found Seasonic S12II-620 620W @ 4.6k but i really need a semi/full modular one :(
Is there any at around 5k? (600w-700w)
