Since it is only the PSU that has changed from this thread where it was confirmed that everything is compatible then yes it all remains fine.

Yes

no it's just making sure the HDDs are compatiable. cause it says that the mobo is only SATA-I but my HDDs are SATA-II what's that mean?

 

[semi-pro waster]

SATA I is the original incarnation of the standard which runs at up to 150mbps, up from the 133mbps maximum of IDE, SATA II allows speeds of up to 300mbps and some new features like NCQ(native command queueing), staggered spin-up(possibly although that might depend more on the motherboard).

I could go on but simply put SATA II drives are designed to be backwards compatible with SATA I and vice versa, you will only be able to run at SATA I speeds but it is unlikely to make much of a difference. Some drives have a clip/jumper that limits them from SATA II to SATA I drives but it should be obvious from the drive.
