2.will this set up work on the 34" ultrawide?
3. will i need a bigger power supply (dont know much about this part)

Looks good except for the PSU, would stay away from the CX series has weak caps, look for a good 5-550 with at least 28 AMPs on the 12 volt rail like SeaSonic, EVGA, XFX or the like. Yes it will be a good rig and you'll be able to OC just fine

1) yes its pretty good I would change the CPU to an i5 4460 (get a second opinion on that)
2) I think yes as it's still 1080p
3)maybe get a 550 W giving you a little room try this it's a little expensive but it's good: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HW979AQ/?tag=pcp0f-21
4)Yep but windows 10 will offer better gaming performance and is pretty good.
5) The GPU can be but I think all can. The CPU cannot be however you do have a overclocking board which you dont need. Go for somthing around the £50-£60 mark will give you good. Ask someone whos an expert please on that.

All in all pretty good. Please can an expert from the fourms check this over before you go with what i've said im not really a pro.

make shure you get 64bit windows. That moniter could be turned down a little to make more money for os
