no to 1 & 2.

maybe no.3, but for your budget, an i5-3570K and a Z77 board should be possible. considering you don't look like you're all that interested in OCing (B75 boards), an i5-3330/3350P/3470 and a B75/H77 board will save you a whole lot. more so if you have a Microcenter nearby.

if you still want the 8350, consider getting another less expensive board, and re-allocate your spending to the GPU, say a 7970 or 670. you're likely to see far more gains there over an expensive motherboard.

big fat no to any of CM's PSU, despite a few of them being of decent quality. 600W for a single GPU or 750W for a dual SLI/CF setup, 80+ Bronze at least from Seasonic, Corsair, XFX, or Antec.
