TBH that psu is garbage, Corsair's CX Series is notorious for dying quickly and having a variety of problems. Also you don't need 16gb of RAM unless you're streaming your gameplay or video editing while you game. If you're just gaming with some chrome tabs open you only need 8gb. Take the money you save by buying 8gb of RAM instead of 16gb and instead get something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20550y1
EVGA's G2 series is one of the most respected series of psus on the market. It'll get the job done. Everything else looks just fine, this is a respectable gaming PC.
