Will not sugest you go for that PSU even if your life depended on it. Please follow this PSU tier list and this article to fully grasp why we frown upon cheap quality PSU's and the power requirements for your system.

That being said I'd recommend either of these three units:

http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220g20650y1
http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650bbefx

You might have a better time following this guide in asking for build/upgrade advice so we can give you a better solution, pass on a follow up post on this thread and we can all chime in - work our way up from there...sound good?

Ty for your answers i will try to follow the steps in future posts.
In the link you gave me it suggested a 550W psu for the r9 380 any reason why u recomended 650 W?
As for the memory I think i will follow your advice and apply the savings on the psu =D.
Thx a lot
