He's also planning on overclocking his GPU and is maintaining a high CPU overclock as it is.

First off, nice overclock on your 6350! But it looks like your PSU should be able to handle it. But it would be safer to get a little nicer unit.

I would suggest this if you are on a bit of a budget.

And if you are willing to spend a little extra, I would go with this one.
