Definitely modular, and definitely don't cheap out on the PSU. Not just so that you're more unlikely to experience your PSU dying, but so if it does die it doesn't take the rest of your system with it. I've been running a 1000w SilverStone modular PSU in my setup for the last 5 years or so and haven't had a single issue
Oh and since yours actually exploded I would check your surge bar. Before my SilverStone unit I blew up 2 other ones before figuring out it was a faulty powerbar causing them to go
