as always we have to recommend the Hyper 212 EVO or Plus for cooling the CPU. Average price with above average performance.
I'm assuming you meant to write 2 TB HDD. The PSU is not bad but there are better brands in the market like Corsair and Seasonic. As for the GPU you should state the games you want to play so we can give you a realistic suggestion, but I obviously 7870 is better

Get the 7870 (I have it and it works like a beauty) and to reiterate, get a 750w PSU, itll last you a good 10-15 years if you take good care of it (especially with all the new power saving tech). And also youd be fine with a stock cooler unless you plan to overclock.

Edit: As far as the i7 goes, you'll notice almost no gaming difference between it and the equivalent i5.
