I'm not so certain about that PSU. 

 

SSD would be an upgrade whereas you could have your current 1TB for storage. 

 

If you want to OC your CPU you will need a proper cooler. 

For my ease of access: Audio Reference, Audio Gear Recommendations, Sensitivity and Impedance, PSU Whitelist, PSU Tier List, 80 PLUS Efficiency and What It Means, Display Types, Cable Adapters

The PSU is tier 2 or 3, it's fine.

is it worth getting a k processor because he won't be able to overclock much because of the cooler?
