Well CPU and Motherboard won't fit together, so you are not off to a good start.

Power supply is questionable, but I have several thermaltake power supplies that have stood up well over time.

HD5670 I assume is a part you already have.

Or swap out for an AM3+ motherboard to get your FX-6300. (Though I would build an Intel system rather then AM3+ for that kind of money)

Sorry for the late reply. I'll just leave this here in case anyone else is in roughly the same position. To get the approximate same budget as the system above, a Pentium G4400 is an alternative. The key is that you can upgrade the processor to an i5 or i7 at a later date.
