1. To be on the safe side, I'd get some LP (low profile) RAM.

2. If 8GB ram was enough for gaming, then I see no point in getting 16GB for non-gaming. That being said if you truly want it, then go ahead and get it. RAM prices are getting ridiculous (in a good way).

3. The Solano has some issues in regards to the 230mm intake fan on the side panel and cooling for graphics cards in SLI or Crossfire, but since you're not implenting a discrete GPU, then this should be no issue for you. Other than that its a great case.

4. I'd definitely go with a PSU brand other than RAIDMAX. An Earthwatts EA650D should be more than you'll need even for overclocking.
