Overclocking with the 212 EVO is fine. For significantly better cooling you'll have to switch to water, which I don't think is necessary. I reached a 1GHz overclock with my FX-8320 (3.5 GHz to 4.5 GHz) with the same cooler. I'd expect you to be able to reach at least 4.7 GHz with the FX-8350, although it could be less, depending on the chip.

As for your power supply, depending on what else you have in your system, that changes. I'd say go for at least a 750W to be safe plus future proof. Something like the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 750 has a 10 year warranty.

How long is a piece of string?

Nobody can tell you how far you can overclock, you need to try it for yourself. That said, you do have a few disadvantages straight away:

1. The 8350 gets hot quite easily.
2. The 212 Evo is good, but far from the best cooler out there.
3. The PSU only delivers 588W, not 630W.

Take a look here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Here's what stated about the SMART series by Thermaltake:
"Tier Four - Not for overclocking systems or high end gaming rigs. May not even output labeled power and fail standard ATX specifications slightly. May even use cheap components to meet a price "

If you want to overclock, at least a tier 2 PSU is recommended from that list. Try looking at the Rosewill capstone series to see if you find something within your budget there, since they're great value for money in general. If you want to overclock, don't cut corners on your power supply. You don't want to fry your system because the power supply didn't hold up.
