HD 7850 gpu
Corsair 120GB GTX ssd
1TB HDD (havent selected yet)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB Dual Channel DDR3

Plan to OC pc and gpu
Try to recommend something cheap, trying to keep a budget

I forgot to mention that this build is For rendering and Photoshop etc
Gaming is the second thing i had on mind while coming up with this. Do you still think an i5 would be better?

What will you be using this build for? Remember that an i7 is overkill for gaming, and the performance increase from a i5-3570K isn't worth the price if that's your most intensive use case.

If you don't plan on changing the GPU, a 500-600W PSU is perfectly adequate. 700W-800W is recommended if you do plan on a top tier card. Go for Corsair, OCZ, SeaSonic or Thermaltake.

HDD: Go for a Seagate Barracuda. Cheapest on the market and reputable brand.
Seconding the 3770K -> 3570K and 7850 -> 7950. Much more bang for your buck with that configuration. (Though remember to get one with a non-reference cooler like a MSI Twin Frozr or Gigabyte Windforce if you plan on overclocking Radeon cards in general. Their reference blowers are noisy and...

Their reference blowers are noisy and don't cool very well.)

As for the PSU i'd go for Corsair CX600M :

http://www.microcenter.com/product/406088/CX_Series_CX600M_600_Watt_ATX_Modular_Power_Supply

or if you don't have microcenter around :

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139048&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

you can run 7850 with 430w so if you decided to CFX in the future this will suffice you

AS for build suggestions : I completely agree with the i5-3570k idea and a higher end GPU , that's the best and most beneficial choice .

BEST LUCK
