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

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.
