Yes it would be very good for gaming. Yes that psu is fine. My biggest recommendation is that I would get the i5 4570 instead for albout $30 cheaper unless you insist on overclocking in which case you would need to upgrade to a Z87 motherboard and also add an aftermarket cooler. The Cooler Master 212 Evo for $30 is a very good one. Overall, overclocking will add $100-125 to your build, and I do not recommend it as a cost effective upgrade. You could get a 240-256GB ssd for that money or almost upgrade to the GTX780ti.
