I am looking into building a budget gaming pc for my girlfriend and this is everything that I have so far http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Pt8Myc (the parts that I don't have on the list I already have in person so no need to worry about me missing parts or anything). My big question is if the power supply listed will work with the mother board listed because the power supply has an 8 pin cpu connector and the motherboard has a 4 pin cpu connector. Lastly i want to know if it this power supply would be ok to overclock the cpu?

With either power supply you listed would I still be able to overclock the cpu?

One last question. If i decided to go with a r9 265 or a gtx 760 would the power supply you suggested still get the job done? Also do you think I should stick with the 750 ti or go for something else? Shes mainly going to play Sims 4, Minecraft and anything on steam (nothing to graphically intense).
