First off you can't use H67 with an i3-3220 as it won't support the CPU out of the box, you will need H77. I think that hard drive is too small. Also that CX430 will struggle with a 7850. What is your budget? I can suggest parts if I knew that.

Then add whatever keyboard and mouse you want and you're good to go. Better case, better CPU, better motherboard, larger HD, and better GPU.

When you put it together set the primary boot drive as your optical drive so it finds the disc, then once in the install program have Windows automatically format your drive and that's it.
