They can take more voltage if you have extreme cooling (or are willing to risk burning up your cpu). On the the 6ghz skulltrail system they were running close to 2.0v on a QX9775.
The OCZ psu you listed is prone to ripples and is not recommended. A Corsair 520hx will provide more than enough power for your system.

Also this cpu cooler from your second list and thermal paste are better than the ones on your list.

I have this PSU in my current system, and assuming it was more than adequate, I was thinking about using it:
Newegg.com - Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply 115/ 230 V CB, DEMKO, FCC Class B, FIMKO, EMKO, UL, VDE, TUV - Power Supplies
anything can take more voltage if it has extreme cooling though. I know the 65nm won't burn out as fast as the 45nm cpu's.
Simple explanation is the smaller the process I.E. 45nm vs. 65nm the worse it will overclock.
