This is what i think you should get, the 760 is a lot better than the 7870, so you should probably get the 760. Hence this is what you should get :

not bad, though i'd never personally get an asrock for an amd build. good intel mbs which i recommend constantly for an intel build, mediocre amd motherboards. I would swap that out with a ga970a-ud3, its about the same cash and a far superior motherboard. i'd also change out the power supply... its a little weak for your build, the gpu is a little expensive, you can do better for less, and the ram is kinda needlessly pricey... with all the money saved i bumped your cpu up a step.

here is the alternate build for $9 dollars more that i think is a little better.
