My last and current PCs are AMD based and I don't know if I could recommend an AMD CPU at this point. The current FX series are just abissmal and perform in many cases, worse than it's Phenom II predecessor.

Agreed, I think for now regarding AMD's position on GPU and CPU, I would go with intel.

Refer to this for PSUs:http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/406160-psu-ranking-and-tiers/ (aim for tier 2 and above)
