HP Proliant N40l Microserver..adding a GPU for transcoding..

For $31 extra you can go with a mini-ITX Haswell motherboard  [ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132032 ] that will let you use the PC-Q25B.    That's only $1 more than the difference between the modular and non-modular Silverstone SFX power supply => so use the non-modular PSU and get that motherboard and you're at a wash cost-wise        Note for the non-modular only has ONE cable that you're not likely to use -- the PCIe auxiliary power connection.    I simply cut that off about 1" from where it exits the PSU when I use that power supply.

 

The modular IS slightly more efficient (by 5%) ... so if you can find the extra $30 it's nice to have;  but it's certainly not required.
