What do you guys think?

CPU: AMD x6 FX-6300
MOBO: ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0
MEM: 8gb G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 1600mhz
PSU: Corsair Builder Series CX600 600Watt
GPU: ASUS Radean HD 7770 1Gb
HDD: Seagate 500Gb
CASE: Bitfenix Merc Alpha

Keep in mind non of my pieces are going to be ordered, so they are all store prices, i am aware that ordering them online would save me some money but well, I don't really like shipping fragile things
 
Solution
I know you said you don't like ordering online, but seriously, your build will be massively better. I could put a radeon 7950 in your build at that price and probably a FX-8320. You're sacrificing a lot.

looks good to me, but just a note on online orders, they know how to pack these things, and really none of these parts are that fragile, at least not on their own, inside their packaging.

i would go for the radeon 7790, better, and same price (at least on newegg).

Seems like your local prices are decent.

7850 for $130 after rebate and tax...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?SID=n2di3g-MEeO2w-IyL47SEg0_eIrg3_0_0_0&AID=10440897&PID=1225267&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-cables-_-na-_-na&Item=N82E16814150642&cm_sp=

infact i ordered my first build a month ago or so and i was really impressed at how things like the hard drive was packaged, the thing was suspended in a box with hard foam holdings, i could drop the thing off the roof and it would probably not even notice.
not to mention they wrapped my RAM around so much bubble-wrap that i coulda used it as a beach ball.
