Better than carpet but wood is still a great insulator. The aim is to improve the gap between the floor and The bottom of your case. If you have 2 bits of 2x4 that you can put across the front and back of your case (underneath) you should be more than okay.

Improvise. An inch is all you need. Alternatively you could flip your PSU 180.
