Yes it will for a single GFX card.

Are you happy with the ram price and the cooler colour?
 
The cooler colour does not bother me and I've used Noctua fans for many years with no issues

I could change the memory to this, but once again always used Corsair memory, is it worthwhile?

Kingston HyperX Savage Red 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-19200C11 2400MHz Dual Channel Kit
 
I have used that exact cooler and loved the box it came in, the mounting system, the quietness, everything about it is top end apart from the fans colour.

It also clears all RAM 100% of the time.

That Kingston is fine, so is the equivalent Teamgroup.
 
That psu in that case is going to absolutely destroy your red and black colour scheme. You do realise it has very bright white led's where you plug the cables in that can't be turned off? I would go with either of these:-

EVGA Supernova GS 650w £69.95 It's a Seasonic built gold rated unit that is fully modular and has a 5 years warranty.

EVGA Supernova G2 750w £94.99 Superflower built gold rated unit and is based on their own Leadex Gold platform but with no tacky led's and a whopping 10 year warranty.

The GS 650w is extremely good value at the moment.

Don't go paying a premium for Corsair ram, it's just not worth it. These days ram is ram. They all perform more or less the same. The Teamgroup Vulcan Red 8GB 2400Mhz kit is over £20 cheaper and has a lifetime warranty with OCUK.
