What difference does a QUALITY power supply make, all the difference in the world. Look at the Power Supply Tier List Search for "Coolmax" on that page. Notice that it is listed as a "Tier Five" and Avoid IMMEDIATELY. These units are highly unsafe to use.

If that isn't enough motivation to RETURN that JUNK then I don't know what is.

The one I linked is a "Tier Three" You might be able to find a Tier Two for similar price. I didn't care to search ....

The biggest problem is cooler height -- The manufacturer of the case prints specs -- http://www.deepcool.com/product/case/2014-04/9_824.shtml that says the max height for a cooler is 169mm. The cooler manufacturer also has specs -- http://www.deepcool.com/product/cpucooler/2013-12/7_481.shtml that says the cooler is 135mm tall.

I don't recommend the single 16GB DIMM since you are losing 1/2 the memory bandwidth for that CPU. You want a matched set of two 8GB DIMMs for max performance.

That power supply is NOT what you want. According to specs it only has a 4 pin supplemental CPU power plug and one 6 pin PCIe plug. Get something AT LEAST as good as this -- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014

It is too late to cancel the order for the power supply, what difference does it make? Also, would this be good for RAM? Avexir Core Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory

Okay, when the power supply arrives I will return it and purchase a new one. Probably the one you linked before
