the psu is not a good choice vs series are entry level psu for home office dextops and not good for gaming and overclocking ..........the ram is weird 5 gb recommended is 6 gb ram so get a pair of 2 x 4 gb ram sticks......mixing ram like 4gb and 1 gb may create some weird problems.....

1. 8350 is waste. 8320 can easily be overclocked to that level.

2. How on earth you are going to have 5 gb vengenance?

3. Corsair VS 550 is not good. Get a seasonic S12II 520.

And a Small SSD fro OS.

will 520 w be enough? if so then will a cooler master thunder 500w (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA49E...) do fine as well?

the fx 8350 is better than fx 8320 and not because of the extra clock speed u should get an aftermarket cooler for the amd fx processor the stock cooler of amd are crap ........yes the 520 watt will more than enough the gtx 660 ti requires 24 amp @ 12+ volt and a 450 watt psu ......and yes the cm thunder will do the job my friend uses one with gtx 760 and have no problem till now using for more than 1 year....

If you have got the 8350, keep it. 520 is more than enough for your build, including overclocking.

CM thunder is a OK PSU. But if you can afford the Seasonic, buy that. The Seasonic is a Tier 2A PSU. I myself use one. Seasonic is any day preferable over CM if you can afford that :) .

Only Huntkey Jumper series is good. Stay away from everything else Huntkey.
