No that CPU is overkill
Get the AMD FX-6300 instead.
The video card is good to go.
For the PSU, DON'T get VS-450.
It will hardly last a year and a half.
Get the CX 430 instead. The prices are same.
For the RAM, I suggest at least get 2 x 4GB.But you can get 4 GB right now and upgrade later. (up to you)
For the HDD, get the Western Digital Caviar blue 500GB.

I actually have a list for under $650 USD. The CPU is different, but it is still a competent processor. I highly recommend using pcpartpicker.com to put together a list, as they show you the lowest prices and also take into account the type of power supply you would need. I didn't use it for this list, because I'm on mobile, but searching for all of these shouldn't be too hard.

COUGER MG100 Micro-ATX Case

MSI 760GMA-P34(FX) AM3+ Motherboard

AMD FX6300 CPU

EVGA GTX 660 Superlock Videocard

EVGA 500w 80+ Bronze Power Supply

Team 8GB (2x 4G) TED38192M1600HC11DC RAM

WD Caviar Blue 1TB Hard Drive

All of this should be about $600-$650. I hope this helps!
