If your computer has 16gb RAM, just keep it. No need to buy new RAM.

600w is more than enough to run all this. No need for 750w.

The Upgrades all sound pretty good to me. As for ram, I currently have both Crucial Ballistix RAM and am very pleased with it. It was a bit cheaper, and it works like a charm. I also have some Corsair Vengence RAM and it runs incredibly fast, so it all depends on what you want... Raw speed and power, or best performance for the price. Though, I do agree with the above post. If you already have 16GB of RAM, there is no need to throw out more money for "better" RAM.

There is no difference between crucial and Corsair RAM. You did not tell any difference in performance. ALL 1600mhz RAM will perform identical.

Most Corsair RAM is actually made by Crucial (OEM). So chances are your sets of RAM are actually the same exact thing.

There are only 3-4 manufacturers of RAM, then companies but it and put a sticker on it.

OP, always get the cheapest RAM you can. BUT, you have no need to buy new RAM. Just use yours you already have.

Thanks, guys ..I still want to know if my current system is worth or enough power to use

The system is fine. What do you want to do with it?

Little gaming and mostly photoshop cz I have xbox one

No need to change anything at all. It will be great for photoshop. Changing the motherboard doesn't affect performance in any way.
