An aftermarket CPU cooler for your K series CPU

An SSD

An actual good PSU

 

Other than that you're good

1. For sure!

2. Well if you have money, don't skimp out on anything else if you are doing so to include an SSD.

3. That PSU is fine! No need for a gold power supply, or more wattage, in fact you probably have too much. (500-550w for 1 card, 750-850 watts for future SLI)

The PSU is okay, mediocre.

 

I'd recommend this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-220gs0550v1and not just because it's gold rated... there's a lot more to a good PSU than that

Okay thanks, how come i need more watts for the psu? 

The wattage you have now is fine, but if you plan to run two graphics cards in the future, you may want to upgrade your power supply now so you won't in the future. You probably will only be using 1 graphics card within the time span of your computer's life, so 500-600 watts should be enough.
