fx8320 is slightly slower when compared to fx8350.I recommended it since its around 1.5k cheaper than the fx8350.Since you aren't going to overclock IMO you could omit the cooler and go for the fx8350.
Once again the NZXT Gamma was recommended to reduce the price slightly.You can buy the cabinet you had selected if your budget permits.

OP has mentioned gaming as one of the purposes for this rig. Can't really do any gaming with an HD 6450.

OP said that he's short on budget and cant afford a gaming card right now and will buy it at a later stage.Apparently the mobo suggested has no support for integrated graphics.Hence the suggestion.

Just get a basic mobo for the fx 8350 and get a good gpu like the gtx 650 ti.If you are not doing insane overclocking stock cooler is more than enough.

Bro , the i5 3470 is available for 11k and OP can buy HD 7850 with that extra 2k.

And OP if you are OK with a 500 GB HDD , you save 1k and you can Spend that on the Cabinet .

If you really need the Benq RL2240H or any other 21.5" monitor you need to add atleast 3000 to the above.Buy it if you can stretch your budget further.

Dont go with Asrock mobo. Poor A.S.S .. Get Asus M5A97 Evo R2 @ 6.8k

You are sacrificing a better Graphics Card if you go with AMD .. My Vote is for the Intel one.
