I'd go down to a fx-6350 or 6300 and put that money into the better graphics card, because that's what's more important for a gaming pc and the extra cores don't make much of a difference for games.

You don't need 850w unless you plan on sli so I'd go with less watts and nicer. the Xtreme series just okay, if you're going to go with a rosewill psu go hive or better yet capstone http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182262

I always try to get the best I can afford when I upgrade so I don't have any regrets about later. You want to look at your gaming computer and smile not regret you didn't spend a little more and get what you really wanted. You night consider a 120GB SSD for a boot drive. Between the two AMD VGA cards I'd do the 7950 model.

If you want to step outside your AMD Comfort zone this card is good too

I think in the end either one will do the job. AMD has not had as smooth gaming experience as Nvidia cards, so I'd go for the better game play experience. But you're the one that is paying for it, and you're the one playing games with it. Pick the card you feel most comfortable with. And enjoy your gaming PC.
