Hi areeweblind and welcome to THG.

1- What is ur budget?
2- This's not the rig section of the forum for ask about new build
3- I'd not go with a SATA 6GB/s for now, go with a SATA II and get a better CPU or GPU.

Ouch HD 5450 u gonna have to turn down res/settings and if i had an IGP chipset like the one u picked out i wouldn't bother splashing for a discrete like HD 5450 LOL

What i would do

Rana X3 440
700 series budget mobo like Asrock 770/Biostar TA785G3 HD
500GB SATA 2 hdd : no point SATA 3 for mechanical Hdds
hit a basement bargain sub $100 HD 4850/GTS 250 ^^

Lastly since not mentioned: hit an entry level 80+ 450-550W PSU for peace of mind 24/7 ops
