1st Build Specs, Any advice

Hey guys, I'm a new user on here and a 1st time builder. I know my way about a computer, changed stuff in and out, installed/replaced hardware(expansion cards, HDDs, Ram, optical drives etc.) a couple times over the years, so I'm confident I can handle building.

Can you guys just give me your opinions on the parts I chose for the build? I'm using the HDD(500gb) and optical drive(DVD/CD RW) from the PC i'm using right now for the new build so those parts won't be listed below.

Here's the list:

Coolermaster Elite 430 Mid-Tower case
Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V Motherboard
Intel i3-3220 3.3ghz processor
Crucial Ballistix 8GB(2x4gb) 1600mhz memory
MSI Radeon Hd 6570 2GB Video Card
CoolerMaster GX450 - 450W (80+ Bronze certified) Power Supply

[All parts Purchased from TigerDirect]

That's it basically.

I also purchased an anti-static wrist strap to eliminate the chances of potentially damaging ESD.

My budget was just about $450 and I'm only going to be using this system for basic computing, video viewing and casual gaming, no SLI or Crossfire or overclocking(CPU or Memory), nothing extravagant.

I'd really appreciate your opinions.

Thanks in advance.
