An ASUS M5A97 R2.0 @ 6k will be fine. He is not gonna do SLI or CF and a Corsair 650TX V2 is also not required. Seasonic S12II 520W will be good. And IMO a HD 7750 will be good . This will not make a hole in ur pocket.

Cabinet : Nzxt source 210 (better cable management)
PSU: Corsair cx430v2 (sufficient for your rig)

You initially stated a "500gb HDD requirement". Yet here you have opted for 2tb !

PS: Fix a budget.

Seasonic S12 520W will be perfect for this rig. If he buys a CX430 V2 , OP may OC his cpu after 2 or 3 yrs.

AMD FX-8350 - Power Consumption | bit-tech.net

The system with an fx8350 (OCed to 4.8) will consume 364w. Add the HD7770 power consumption to the equation.
If OP plans to OC to those levels, opt for a 500w PSU. Anything more is just unnecessary.
