1st of all, FX-6100 is replaced by FX-6300 which is based on Piledriver architecture, successor of Bulldozer architecture (FX-6100 is BD) and offer better performance and less power consumption. So get FX-6300 @ 7.35K
2ndly, VS450 is not a good PSU. Get Antec VP450 @ 2.7K
3rd point is the choice of GPU. Currently GTX 650 is available at 8k+ price range and HD 7770 is a better choice on that range.

For motherboard, Harshil has suggested you the best motherboard at your budget.

GTX 650 is equivalent to a HD 7750 at max and it is basically an overclocked GT 640 but priced like a HD 7770. Check some reviews in sites like Tomshardware, Anandtech etc.
