I plan on getting a gaming computer custom built online, and I had a few questions regarding the motherboard and power supply I should choose.

Question 1: If I have an amd fx 8350 processor, and a nvidia gtx 660 ti, graphics card, what kind of motherboard should I take to get the most bang for my buck? I don't know a lot about motherboard's and I wanted to make sure that I didn't overpay and get an overpowered motherboard that I don't need.

Question 2: If I plan on playing games for long periods of time, how many watts will I need in my power supply? again I don't want to pay for too little or too much power so I just want to know how much I'll need for what I plan on doing.
 
1) Because I don't know where you are and what is your budget, so I will say either lower price one ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ or GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 over $100.

2) You need the good 450W PSU or 500W one because you can find the lower price 500W PSU.
