Seems fine - but you should look up in section 7.3 of the manual what 
everything does and satisfy yourself that your choices make sense with 
what you know about molecular simulations. Read the relevant sections 
earlier in the manual and do all the tutorial material and textbook 
reading you can find, even if it's off-topic for you.
