Like the previous forum members have suggested, change the PSU.

the top four PSU manufacturers are:
Corsair
XFX
Seasonic
Antec

You can use this PSU calculator to work out how many watts your system will consume and what is recommended. (Click this)

Are you thinking of overclocking your CPU, if so I recommended you invest in an aftermarket cooler such as the Evo 212 to ultimately keep your CPU cooler.

Apart from that I see no compatibility issues and it is a good rig.

I5 3350P has a locked multiplier and does not overclock like all other None "K" current Intel CPU's.
