I agree, go for a bigger PSU! You didn't mention for what are you gonna use your system, but heavy gaming and OC'ing definitely would need bigger and better one... Get a Corsair AX1200 - yes, it's a little bit overkill, but then you can forget about PSUs for many years... 🙂
BTW, are you using a triple channel memory kit on the RIVE? (I just assuming from the "12GB"...)

There are three physical sticks of ram if that is what your asking with two fans attached over them. Not keen on some of the lingo, not sure what RIVE is, sorry for my ignorance. I mention that I do some gaming but no interest in over clocking at all. I do some HD video editing and my share of photoshop. Most of the gaming I do is most likely considered high end like BF3, star craft 2 and guildwars to name a few with all options on high.
RIVE = Rampage IV Extreme - your motherboard
As this motherboard is designed for quad channel memories, also it is known to be very picky with the memories... - I found interesting using a triple channel kit on it... - that's all. It would be good to know the exact model of your kit and the slots you inserted them... specially for those who switch from the X58 systems (a triple channel one), that they can use their old memory kits... 🙂
