Your upgrades look very good and it will become a powerhouse build compared to the original system. You need to consider a higher quality power supply.

Here's the best recommendations. Any of which will be great for your system-

Thanks for the responses, I was thinking that I was going to need a new power supply at some point. Might as well do it all at once.

I'll also think about the Intel Xeon considering the Intel processor I was looking at is out of stock on a lot of websites.
