I'm going to build a pc and I don't know what power supply to go with. I'll be running my system 24/7.
Here are the pc specs:
Intel Core i5 - 3570K
ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Cooler Master 212 EVO
GTX760 Palit JetStream PCI-E 2048Mb
WD Caviar Blue 1Tb
8Gb DDR-III 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9)

And one more question: Will I be able to install this RAM with this cooler?

Is 550W enough or should I get a 600W PSU? If yes, which one would you recommend?

For endurance, 600W give more space and may last longer. But, 24/7 not only requires hi-quality PSU, but also good quality mobo. I have no idea what u use this rig for but 24/7 shortens your rig's life (esp. for gaming rig.)

If u want RAM to fit your cooler, make sure your RAM looks like this (Just an example): http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-low-profile-blue-16gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml16gx3m4a2133c11b.html (LP stands for Low Profile, means it's a typical RAM)

instead of that: http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/vengeance-pro-series-memory/vengeance-pro-series-32gb-4-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-2400mhz-c9-memory-kit-cmy32gx3m4a2400c10r.html (Looks higher and has its cooling stuff)
