You are spending alot of money on the new components. You really need 8gb of RAM for your system to operate at maximum potential. Get8gb from corsair, crucial, kingston). Also, I would not put a $49 mobo in your build. THink about these:

ASUS P8Z77-V LE LGA 1155 Intel Z77 $139

PSU choices:

Rosewill CAPSTONE-550 550W Continuous @ 50°C, Intel Haswell Ready, 80 PLUS GOLD, ATX12V $79
