I'd go with faster memory, but this will definitely do the job.

What's the power supply?

How fast?

I have 600 watts I believe.

You've basically told me the horsepower of the engine. But I'm looking for the make and model.

It's not a great power supply, but it will do the job. In the event you want to upgrade, the Corsair RMx 650W is on-sale for $80 right now and is arguably the best power-supply on the market.

What monitor are you using? Perhaps you should consider upgrading that first.
