Dear Mathew,
In my opinion, you can start with your pdb file or else using Gauss view
you can attach the optimized geometry of the base to the Sugar-Phosphate
(which is little tricky). If the geometry is not drastically changed before
and after optimization, I think you should be OK using the coordinates from
the pdb file.
Best of luck
