How many video cards are you using?
Seasonic, Corsair (not CX/GX series) and XFX are Top Quality. Everything else comes next.
All three brands offer modular and standard PSUs.
Here are a few:
Newegg.com - SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W ATX12V V2.3/EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Newegg.com - CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 (CMPSU-750HX) 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
Newegg.com - XFX PRO750W XXX Edition Semi-Modular 80Plus Silver 750 Watt Power Supply
Newegg.com - CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
Antec is a reliable brand however i am not sure how good their PUS are in the 700-800 range. Most of the Antec power supplies i have seen people do their builds are usually around 400 to 600 range.
Please make sure you have the right connections or enough connections in whatever power supply you buy. Unless you plan to O/C + 2X graphics cards I don't consider 800 watts a good buy. Then again who knows what your build will have
Read the customer reviews. If a particular line of power supplies is having problems you will catch wind of it there.
Also google the exact model number of the supply you are considering and look for technical reviews. Sites like Tom's Hardware do some very extensive testing and you can take away lots of good information.
First will be good to fill your system specs, so we can better help you.System Info - See Your System Specs
