Connecting a USB<->rs232(uart) module to the de-0 nano via GPIO

Hi, big newbie here. I was hoping you could all help me with my little problem(and answer some simple questions). I am doing my final year project and want to send some polynomial coefficients ...

Ok, so I eventually got a bit confused after reading each post a couple times, on what I need and what I don't. I want to create a new SOPC and don't know which components I finally need. If I understand correctly, I need:

A Nios II processor to control the blocks.

A UART to connect from one side to the GPIO and the other side to the SDRAM(do I need a PIO to send the coeffidients to the SDRAM from the UART?).

A PIO block to read from the SDRAM and send the coefficients to the logic block(and let the block know when to read them).
