All that's great, but what we really need to know is what brand and model of PSU you have and what you have in the way of cpu cooler and case fans. Unless you just want to OC and enjoy it 'til it dies. Just kidding about that last part.

My psu is made in denmark and it 700 watts I dont remember the brand name but it has 4 rails.. and the cooler im changing it cause this one is already outdated im gonna be upgrading to a Corsair H55

You really want to know what exact PSU you have. It's the most important component in your case bar none. Read this so you understand what I mean and then see if you can find the model and brand.
