Make sure the Samsung SSD is an 840 Pro model, the ones without the PRO designation is the "value" range using cheaper TLC memory compared to the 840 PRO and 830 MLC memory, less write cycles, slower etc. As this is for a home PC I would not worry about SLC
I went for the non-Pro model because I think I don't really need the extra speed. And it's +60 euro's. Should I really get the Pro model?
Very much doubt it. If either your PSU or CPU went, or even Motherboard. Should no real reason why your GFX should damaged as a result of that.
In most cases, a failed PSU won't take out the system unless its safeguards fail too.
I've built most computers with Asus but have also used Asrock, MSI and Gigabyte without problems.
Make sure that you purchase a pair of memory modules instead of single module.
What's the purpose of your PC? Gaming?
Okay, that's what I was most worried about
I have 2x4GB, I thought of hat already I have no idea why the picture shows one bar, but the specs say it's two
And Gaming is the most important purpose, yeah. Perhaps I'm going for the i7 3770K instead of the 3570K one.
