Heh, aside from not noticing much of a performance increase, with that furnace of a chip in the board you'll run into overheating issues before you know it. I'd recommend putting CoreTemp on your PC and monitoring temps with that CPU anyway. Anything over 75 degrees, worry. (Before some pedantic bugger mentions the TDP for that chip is 95 degrees, I know, but bios temp monitors are notoriously bad at being accurate in my experience)
The OCZ PSU would do the trick, neat and tidy means better airflow, which means less heat which means a happier PC, just watch for them exploding when you power on for the first time, make sure the correct 12v line is plugged into the mainboard, they never used to label them, I went through 3 before I worked that out...
I'd also recommend staying way from AMD chips right now, they are such a huge leap behind Intel right now its laughable.
