My last two have been Corsair and neither died or caught fire, so they get my recommendation. Current one (HX850) is passively cooled most of the time, fan only starts when gaming or rendering.
Seasonic are highly rated, but Silverstone seem to be as well. Fully modular is definitely worth it for the convenience, so you're covered there.

64gb because there's a chance I may end up using the machine for work from time to time. I currently have 32GB and it sometimes pushes the limit so just figured 'the future'.
I have no idea about ryzen benefiting from faster RAM. I suppose I could always get a fast 32GB stick now and add another later. EDIT: ok, so appears to be a cap of about 3200 for speed at 32GB sticks.
Re. extra space - wasn't sure how many slots there were for storage with that mobo - especially with the 3080 in there - how much space it takes up / blocks slots etc. I'd consider an extra M.2 but again was thinking this was something I could add later. It would only be for OS and games and I don't really have lots of games installed at once. I make do at the moment with 350GB in bootcamp. I have a TB2 48TB RAID for other bits.
Any PSU brands to look out for? I generally filter by price and go for the most I'd realistically want to spend.
