Modular is up to you, it makes your case look cleaner. Nowadays, look for at least 80% efficient. OCZ, Corsair, Antec are all good brands

GET A MODULAR!! I can not believe I saved $20 to have my case look awful. lol, Even if you do not have a clear side panel for airflow the modular is better, I have so many wires tucked I can't get the back side of my case closed without a lil force.

It seems like Kingwin builds for a popular line but I'm not sure about that. Since you're in Japan name some common PSU manufacturers that are available to you and we'll say yes or no.
