I am building a pc from an old alienware desktop because its motherboard failed. Here is what I have/going to buy:
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe/WD
CPU: i5 third gen
GPU: GT545
PSU: Corsair CX series 430 Watt ATX/EPS modular
Case: Cooler Master Elite 110
and of course ram and harddrive

Is there anything else I will need to set this up and use it once I have everything on this list put together? All the cables that need to be plugged into the motherboard basically all come from the PSU right? Or will I need something else... (keep in mind this is my first time doing this)

Looks like you have everything covered there. The motherboard comes with 2 sata connectors, and it looks like you'll only need one for the HDD, as you don't have an SSD or an optical drive. PSU comes with all the necessary connectors, with extras. Looks good!
