Sounds good to me. That's all new platforms, so that computer will take upgrades for quite a while. Keeping one upgraded is a much better option than buying a new one every so often, because you either have backup parts, or spare parts to sell.
About the PSU, it's not over heating that's the problem, it's components actually failing. If, for example, a component fails, catches fire, and melts its solder, it can easily short-circuit comething. Sometimes it'll just shut off, and sometimes it'll do something crazy. It's very possible that it could fry every single component in your computer. The PSU is really the one thing you want to splurge on in a PC...not cheap out on.
I asked about a similar diablotek psu in another, much larger forum, and got a very negative response. It may have 5 stars, which is what drew me to it as well, but the general consensus is that diablotek is just not a good brand to buy from. That cooler master deal you posted a few pages back was better. Still not the best, but better.
