The PSU doesn't determine system performance.

You won't really notice anything in terms of performance when you use 16GB of RAM and that's only needed if you're doing heavy duty multimedia work or working with huge files.

Where you will notice the biggest difference is in the GPU. It's the exact same as the one you listed but EVGA is a much better brand. The 560TI is one of the best GPUs on the market right now and it's from one of the best manufacturers in the market.
