So how does it look, on my preliminary assembly? My budget is around $500, and expect some additional shipping fees as well. I also want to find a cool case, so I haven't picked that part yet.

Not sure why you're buying aftermarket cooling for an i5 3450, you can't really overclock those processors, so there is no need for aftermarket cooling.

I would suggest spending less on the processor and going for an i3 2100 or an i3 32xx, then spending more on the GPU and getting the likes of a 6670 or a 6770 or something like that. Don't get the WD Green drive either, only 5900 RPM - slow. You want to go for a 7200 RPM disk. I think the Blue and Black drives are 7200 RPM, so look into the likes of one of those.
