    That looks like a PCPartpicker list. Can you provide the actual links?

    Thermaltake has sold PSUs with TR2 brand for a very long time and older models were kinda crap. New "TR2 Bronze" are decent. The one you picked is almost certainly from the crap era and needs to be changed.

    Trolling should be.

    The only point of contention I can see (besides the power supply, definitely need to pick something else.) is the ram isn't low profile, and you don't have an aftermarket CPU cooler, which will limit your overclocking greatly.

    Also, are you getting an SSD?

    I probably will have to get a ssd but maybe later when i have more money to spare on it. About over clocking i will probably do that later once i know more about it/know how to do it. And what ram should i get then?

    Don't worry too much about RAM heatsinks. Entry level coolers won't interfere with a 2 module set of RAM. High end liquid cooling (AIOs and custom loops) won't interfere much with RAM heatsinks much at all. Only large high end air coolers will have trouble with tall RAM. Even then, you can just pick the Noctua D14 (reigning champion of air cooling) which doesn't interfere much with Corsair Vengeance (RAM with the tallest heatsinks on the market). http://www.abload.de/img/img_0107vqjfq.jpg

    That ought to be fine. Any reason you're getting it all from newegg? You could save enough to get a cooler elsewhere.. It's silly to spend that much money, and then skip out on performance.
