I'm looking to replace an old ass PC built many years ago. I stole a build someone recently posted and I'm not sure what to do about a few parts. I was hoping someone could recommend a SSD and power supply. Here's the build:

I will mostly be editing HD video from a GoPro and possibly light gaming (probably not though).
My questions are:
1. My old PC has a Corsair CX500 power supply and a GeForce GTS 450. Would the Corsair CX500 have any issue powering the PC with the 450? Should I look at a bigger power supply?
2. Any recommendation on a SSD? I don't need much storage on this PC as all video will be moved to a home server after processing so I'm thinking a 256GB SSD is plenty as I can move the old HDD from the old PC for extra space if really needed.
3. Should I bother going to 32GB of RAM? I don't want to bother upgrading anytime soon, but not sure if it'd be worth it having 32GB over 16GB. Any recommendation over the 16GB posted above??
As always, any help is greatly appreciated!
