Take a look at this : evga supernova nex 750w 80+ gold. More than enough for your needs.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438017&cm_re=evga_supernova-_-17-438-017-_-Product

HDD: 1 western digital 500gb and 1x western digital 1tb

The xfx 650w would be enough for the system. THe EVGA 750w would give you a bit more headroom though.

Overclocking the 8350 on a system like this would probably push wattage to around 600-620ish. The xfx is a seasonic unit, which is a very reliable company as is.
