The motherboard and CPU is compatible according to ASRock http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H61M-DGS/?cat=CPU
The PSU most likely would be fine on cable and power connectors. Not sure of the reliability though.
Why not go for 2X4Gb sticks instead?

The motherboard may technically work, but I'd avoid it for a couple of reasons. Firstly AsRock boards aren't that good, you would be better getting one from Gigabyte/ASUS/Biostar, Secondly, your board has the H61 chipset that was designed for Sandy Bridge, this chipset will support Ivy Bridge CPUs but may need a BIOS update to do this, in that case you would need a Sandy Bridge CPU to do the update. You would be best to get a board from Gigabyte/ASUS/Biostar with either a H77 or B75 chipset. This board would be a great option (I have used it in several builds myself) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138379 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138379)
I also wouldn't trust that PSU, the PSU is an important part of your computer and should not be cheaped out on. Get something from a reputable brand such as Corsair, Seasonic, or XFX. 300w should be enough for your machine now but you'd also want to consider any future upgrades as adding things like a video card will require substantially more power.
That is also a triple channel kit of RAM - The board has 2 RAM slots so you would need to get a set of, at most, 2 sticks. Best option would be to either get 2x4gb or 2x2gb.
