The current AMD rig I have is:
AMD FX 6300
Hyper 212 Evo
ASRock 960GM/U3S3
GTX 770 2GB
Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower
Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W
G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
Kingston 120GB V300 SSD
WD Blue 1 TB HD
Windows 8.1 64bit

I'm looking to upgrade my motherboard and PSU now and save more money for the 8350 in the future (I'm happy with my FX 6300 for now). And I want to throw in a Blu-Ray player cuz I'm starting to grow a collection of Blu-Ray movies. I was wondering if this motherboard/PSU is a good choice to do a bit OCing?

I guess my tangible budget is around ~$200.

That looks excellent. I would go with SR-71's recommendations. He knows his power supplies better than anyone I have heard of.

I have read in quite a few different forums of people having good overclocking experience with that motherboard I suggested. So I wouldn't try and go with anything cheaper really. Not to say that there aren't other boards out there that will give you just as good of an experience overclocking for a cheaper price, I am just not confident with any others to suggest them. Happy gaming!

I was looking at that mobo earlier, and that PSU looks pretty good. You think 650 would be enough for that future 8350 AND my GTX 770? Any other mobos you recommend that can trim the costs down a tad? Otherwise, this is a pretty good choice for me so far.

I've had bad experiences with Asus, so I'm trying to avoid them. But that PSU looks great!
