Looks good to me. I don't know anything about silverstone PSUs is all.... just make sure they are a quality brand and which exact unit you will be getting...check the specs to make sure it has a good 12v rail Amp spec.

your motherboard can support higher clock ram.
also do consider powerline network adapters instead of wifi adapter. i find them slightly more reliable.

System looks good, only thing I would get rid of is the cooler. Get something that is a bit more efficient than that. You might as well as kept the intel cooler if you are not planning on overclocking much at all.
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Lol, I don't like that cooler too, it's so easy to strip the mounting screw. At least get the 212 evo , the plain 212 is pitta to paste with the space between the heatpipe. ( the heat pipe are exposed ) For your SSD get an Intel 520, 5 years warranty
