Ram is overkill if you're doing 1440p gaming or 1080, but I suppose if you plan to upgrade to 4k thats fine.
Personally i'd get an 850w PSU so you can overclock your CPU and GPU to get the best performance out of them as a pose to running at stock settings. I recommend the EVGA Supernova G2 series.
