I am Finally ordering parts for my computer and before I order the power supply, I want to make sure I have enough power for my computer. I do want to do slight over clocking and plan to add more hard drives as needed.

totally fine, you could easily get away with 750W or even less.

The 2 x 8GB Dominator kit is cheaper.

I would personally go with the EVGA Supernova G2 power supply over the Corsair.
