1: get a decent Power supply. Something like Seasonic, xfx, ocz, corsair, antec ... not some no-name thqat will take your motherbd out when it dies. 450w would be enough. If you plan on overclocking your card and processor then get a 550w.

2: you have the unlocked k series processor so I assume you will be overclocking and hence will need a good cpu cooler. Don't forget it. You might want to get it along with everything else so you can install at least the bottom mounting plate before you install the motherbd in the case.
