Your PSU may or may not be sufficient for a quad-core processor - it only has a 4 pin CPU plug and most new boards have an 8 pin socket. It may or may not run well using only 4 pins. It certainly has enough power for that video card and it's a pretty reliable unit.

That's a good CPU. I'd match it up with an Asus P8Z77-V LK motherboard and a 2x4gb kit of Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 low profile ram. This leaves enough in your budget to go ahead and get a new PSU. I'd take advantage of this and get a modular unit for better cable management, and a Seasonic-built unit is the best.
