And can some kind person pick me out a PSU from CCL that's compatible with all the parts I've chosen, thank you.
 
The only thing you need to worry about in those parts you chose is whether or not the RAM is on the motherboard's QVL.

I just downloaded the QVL of the motherboard you chose and looked for the part number of the RAM you chose and the RAM is not on it.

This means you are essentially rolling the dice about whether or not the RAM works in the motherboard.

If you want a guarantee that it does work, then change your RAM choice to one of these other part numbers instead:

CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8
CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
F3-12800CL8D-8GBECO
PX538G1600LLK
GVP38GB1600C8QC

If those part numbers aren't available on your favorite website, then search for "P8Z68-V QVL" and download it and then look through the list for one that is available where you like to shop at.

This PSU will do fine in that system

It isn't that simple.

The Xfx 450w can provide more power and cleaner power than 90% of the 550w PSUs on CCL.

The websites and manufacturers assume people will want to buy generic things which can't provide the power they say they can.

A $15 PSU with 550w may not be able to put out more than 250w in reality, whereas the 450w I chose can probably break 500w.

Comparisons between brand name PSUs and generic PSUs are Apples vs Oranges comparisons for this reason.

I looked up the average system draw for a computer with that video card and it was only approaching 300w at load. The xfx 450 can provide this without blinking, if you pick any random PSU of 550w list the odds of it being able to provide 300w continuous are much reduced.

If you like, you can choose an xfx 550w instead. I was just trying to save you some money by opting for the 450w.

Good catch, though.
