Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz (newegg-100$)
Case: RAIDMAX Tornado ATX-238WU Black / Blue SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (newegg-50$)
RAM: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333v (newegg 37$)

What about PSU? what should i get?
Is there any other things i should change or can find elsewhere for cheaper?

Raidmax cases are awful beyond words. For $50 go with a Cooler Master HAF 912 or NZXT Source 210. Alternately consider the Antec One.

Put a bit more into your GPU and get a Radeon 7770 for $110 - that 6670 won't get you very far.

For PSU get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151074

ya im going to go with the 7770, but i hear if i have the 7770 then theres not much point in going for the a8-a10 because then the infinities gpu just turns off

Yeah there's no point in getting an A6 or A8 if you have a dedicated GPU. I would go for an i3-3220 and H77 if you're going to get a 7770.
