Please please please read the entire post before replying.

So this is my build so far:
http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/p/2PCZ99

I don't have a custom CPU cooler as I don't plan on overclocking (unless it's a good idea). I have the RAM, the Storage, the optical drive and the OS. I also have all the peripherals.

So my main questions are
1. Should I get a CPU cooler and OC?

2. Are there any obvious things anyone can see that would save me money and give me the same performance OR some upgrades for no more than 15$ that would increase the performance by a significant amount.

***PLEASE USE ca.pcpartpicker.com WHEN LINKING/SUGGESTING PARTS***

ALSO this is for a gaming build. Enough to run games on medium with amazing fps and on high with moderate playable fps.

Get a better poer supply. The Corsair is tier 3 http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su.... Try to get tier 1, 2a or 2b.
For a 750Ti you only need 400W. Try the Seasonic per http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/80-plus-gold-power-...

You need to get a cpu cooler to overclcok eg coolermaster hyper 212 evo. Check it'll fit in your case

Thanks for the helpful tips i7Baby!

I got that PSU incase I wanna upgrade GPU.

My main focus ATM is the GPU for my build. What GPU would you recommend for me? Please try keeping it in the price range of under 150$?

Thabks for all of your help. One last thing, would you say I should OC or just play it at stock after looking at all the parts I'm ordering.

Run it without overclock for a few months. During which, read about overclocking the fx 8350. Then try it.
