Good stuff mate, it's surprising what you can do with yesterdays bits and pieces with regards to building a new DAW PC, I've had the hardware in my Desktop PC for a few years and it's been working great, here's the list of specs for my DAW PC:
Motherboard: Gigabyte Z68XP UD3
CPU: Intel i5 2500K
PSU: 600 Watt (I think it's a Corsair).
CPU Cooler (Not sure what make, I think it's an Intel).
Main HDD: 1Tb SATA Drive (I'd upgrade to an SSD but I'm a bit wary of them).
Storage: X3 Extra SATA HDD of various sizes.
Memory: X1 4Gb DDR3 Corsair Ram Stick (I might see if I can buy more this year).
Case: Black Cooler Master.
Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64Bit.
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon R7 200 Series.
What DAW software are you thinking of running on your PC?, I'm running FL Studio 12 Producer Edition, Reason 5, Reaper 5, and Ableton Live 9.6 Standard, my two main Audio Interfaces are an Avid Digi002 and a Focusrite Saffire Pro 40.
Your CPU looks like it'd be a bit more powerful than mine which runs at 3.3Ghz whereas your's runs at 3.5Ghz.
