Yes, it should. RAM does not affect power consumption massively. You have plenty of overhead on a 650W unit, anyway.

A 650W unit should be enough, and that one is a pretty decent one. You could also get a good quality 500W unit, like a SeaSonic or XFX unit, and it would still work.

Other than that, it looks pretty good. I don't have any other particular recommendations to make.

A 650W PSU is more than enough juice to power that rig, you could even settle for 500W if you really wanted to save some money. I run a rig somewhere above the draw of yours on 500W and it's flawless. Just be sure to choose a reputable brand, Cooler Master shouldn't let you down, or Seasonic, EVGA, most of the big names will do.
