Can this be ran on the power supply I selected?

Yes, it can be ran on the power supply you selected, but to be honest, this is not a well configured PC.

First off you don't need 16GB's of RAM for gaming.
Even 4GB's will be enough if you don't multitask.

But most people go for 8GB's and with good reason.

Yes, the APU does also gain speed from high memory speed, but you're spending WAY too much on that memory.
You're also spending too much for that case, and you do not need a high-end motherboard.

I've configured you a PC that would run circles around this one.

Yes this should run, but with not much headroom. Also, in the future save yourself the trouble of posting with this question by using www.pcpartpicker.com and after you configure your build the total wattage will be in the top right corner.

It can, though with an XFX 550 at about the same price, I wouldn't choose this particular PSU - the Capstone/Tachyon/Lightning Rosewills are the ones that are excellent Super Flower builds.

You haven't really given us a lot of information otherwise, such as build purpose, budget, and whether you need a HD as well.

Without knowing exactly what you're doing with the PC, I gotta say it's an incredibly odd build. You've picked some rather strange parts for a budget build, most notably spending considerably more on RAM than a typical $1000 build and a non-budget motherboard.
