What's your budget?

You're going to need to cool that chip. Think about an AIO liquid or big air. Lots of heat on that one. BTW, I'm not a huge fan of big air, but it won't leak.......
I think you're going to want to move up to an 850w psu, the TH psu tier chart is not working for me atm. Get the best one you can afford. Seasonic, EVGA, Antec, Corsair, etc.
Plan on a SSD when you can get at least a 120gb into your budget.

The PSU you selected is not for overclocking: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html , plus it will not even support crossfire of two 270x with and FX-8320, or at lest you will be stressing it to it's limit

Do you need a case? Is your build a pre-built computer? Where do you live and where are you planning on buying your PC?
