That will be a great all-around PC, i had a setup very similar for a long while and it served me well, expect great general performance from the 6300, and high to ultra settings (depending on the game) from the 7850. I can't really see anything that i would change.

Not sure where those prices are from , but they look a little high so use pcpartpicker.com to find alternatives

The ASUS LE board is a weak link if you will overclock . No heatsinks on the voltage regulators will be a limiting factor .
This gigabyte is only a few dollars more and a better candidate IMO

I cant see the point in cheaping out on a case and then having to add case fans that push the price up $20

would be my choice in that price range
