Get a more powerful psu from tier one or two of the teir list on here, 550w will be enough for a small overclock. What motherboard are you using? You do not need 16gb of ram for gaming.

If you would add a motherboard your system would cost $1,300. Here is a build in the range that would be better. Including the motherboard.
