What would you change?

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3nTZw

I'm trying to achieve decent power (able to play current games on medium to high settings (1080p) with 60fps) while remaining quiet operation.

Maybe spend a little less on your CPU and put more into your graphics card

The games played will primarily be older games which rely more on a cpu than a gpu. i know from experience that the r9 270x is able to handle bf4 with ease, and thats going to be the "heaviest" game the system will ever run.

Are there any truly quiet cheap PSUs then?

This will perform much better. A 4670K and a GTX 770 are a little bit better balanced than an 8320 and a GTX 780, especially if silence is a goal, since both of those consume less power and thus will have less fan noise needed to adequately cool them.

the one that @SAV1OUR listed would be just fine the CX series is just fine, i would have not recommend to go with that one before because i thought that it was making my computer really loud, but i found out it was something else and the CX series is a good line and i have had no problems with my CX500m
