A bit overkill for your needs but there's no problem with that.

You can't use your DDR2 on that new mobo, you need some DDR3 RAM.

No, you can get any PSU you want, it's only about the cost.

Hi,
please goto asus.com
support
power calculator
check you power consumption first.
And FYI Seasonic is a pick of crap.
