I would keep that proc for now if I were you. Wait to see how well your system works and change after broadwell has arrived. That processor is maybe not very new, it still is capable enough to play modern games. It is said to overclock decently as well (you tried?).

smart! I would be you, I would take at least a 550W psu even if that cx500 offers oustanding price/performance ratio, because
-you do not know now what you will want to buy next year as a replacement for your processor.
-the OC on your AMD does require some power
