CPU good, RAM good, PSU good, SCU bad, GPU bad.... well not bad but not brilliant, not much point getting a processor which can max this game then having a graphics card which will only be able to play at medium settings... you certainly don't want two different graphics cards in it which have the same problem. Getting a GTX 660 Ti would cost less and let you run all settings at high... also the sound card, completely pointless, don't need it with that motherboard.
So is it the GTX650 or the HD6450? The GTX650 is better but still meh, don't even bother with the HD6450- that card has GDDR3 for god sake. Also the Xonar sound card isn't necessary but your choice, I personally use a SoundBlaster X-Fi PCI-E card because it sounds better than the onboard one.
The Xonar sound card is amazing. Get a decent Stereo headset. And you will have crisp Dolby 5.1 sound. And why a Micro ATX Mobo? Get full size ATX one. And a Better GPU.
AS good a computer as any for playing this game atm. GTX 650 will easily be able to handle things from a graphics side, CPU will remain the bottleneck for the foreseeable future.
The problem with the 650 is the RAM on it. It uses GDDR3 instead of the much faster GDDR5 that the 650Ti(which also has 768 cores instead of 384) uses. Also keep in mind that the GK chips have everything running at the same speed on the GPU, not double like the GF did. So you need 2x the cores to equal the GF chip's performance, which means that the 384 core 650 is the same as the 192 core 550 except the 550Ti used DDR5 on a wider 192bit bus. Basically, get a better GPU. The 650Ti is roughly equivalent to the GF114 560Ti for a significantly cheaper price than the 560Ti was sold for. It's MUCH better than a 650. I'd also say get the best quality motherboard you can, mATX or ATX. Also, why do you have two different GPU's listed?
I have one, it has GDDR5, don't know where your getting that from. Play a lot of PS2. My GTX 650 is not a problem, get a descent make and it'll easily overclock to 1.2 as well.
