Get a better PSU. I'd say to go for the EVGA supernova 650 G2. It won't burn your house and you down

Why would you say it would burn my house down? also isnt this way more than sufficient?

I've had bad experiences with that power supply. At my school, i help out the librarian who also doubles as the tech guy with upgrading some of the older computers with ssds and more ram. The power supply for those computers was the rose will that you have. One of them started smoking when i was testing them under load and the other one just plain out didn't work. Of course, that's out of almost 50 computers but still, your chances are still pretty high

Ok I will take your word for it and switch but im probably going to still go with something the same wattage and price

The Matx board might look a little awkward in the ATX Case.

 

Also, chuck an SSD in there and thank me later

I would definitely put an SSD in there, it really speeds up and improves the responsiveness of the computer doing everyday tasks.

The 

Rosewill 550W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

is the one that started smoking correct?

Yes, although it didn't catch on fire, it was over heating like crazy and melted the wire's plastic wrap

The Rosewill Capstone is a very good power supply made by SuperFlower. They also make the EVGA G2.
