Glad you asked about it, PSU is crap quality, uses cheap caps which melt on high loads, get this instead, much better quality wise:

Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($54.99 @ NCIX US)

Use 2X4GB sticks for faster performance, also, faster speed will help in the job:

Memory: G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($79.99 @ Newegg)

I'd also reduce the cost on case a bit and get a SSD for faster boots and loading times.

No issues, stock cooler is fine for stock speeds, and yes you can get a cooler when you wish to try your hands at OCing.

Yes, it wasn't bad before the suggested changes too, but quality components will always be a better buy in long term, go ahead after making the changes :)
