For overclocking your CPU, I would go with MSI's gaming mobos. The PSU wattage depends on the other stuff too, which you can use a wattage calculator for. Usually Corsair and Seasonic PSU's are quite popular. For Ram, you could go with 8 GB or 16 GB, depending on what you are rendering. If it is huge rendering, 16. The cooler could either be stock, or something like the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, or the Zalman CNPS5X Performa. Stuff like the optical drive is fine, as long is it has the specs you want and it has good reviews.
