Max out... I think it is more than enough for you to actually play any games you want but why not just get the 780

what are you ding with this... just gaming? if all your doing is gaming then just get a 4670k or even an 8350. the motherboard you picked it way overpriced, and your 1000w power supply is totally unnecessary unless you plan on going with crossfire 290x or sli titans. the case you picked is unnecessay unless you absolutely love the way it looks.
you can get a case for $50 all day, and a 600-650w power supply for like $50 too. a decent z87 motherboard shouldn't cost you anymore than $130 and a 4670k is like $220. 8gb of ram is plenty and you can get 8gb of good 1600cl9 for like $50.... any samsung, intel, or crucial ssd should be about $80-160 for a 120 or 240gb ssd respectively. and you can find 3tb hard drives for like $110. that leaves you with a ton of money to splurge on a gtx780 or a 290x which would give you high end 1440p performance. you probably would have money left over for a $350 korean 1440p monitor too.
i game no problem on a 1440p monitor with a 7950 and a 2500k... so a 290x/780 and a 4670k is considerably, about 35% faster at least in games than my rig.

The 7850 2GB is better among the two cards, but seriously the build that you have planned is way overpriced and overkill.
Let me ask you two things :
1. What is your budget? Also mention the currency?
2. Which country do you live in?

This rig should be more than enough for gaming on 1080p.
+ i5 4670k = The best gaming CPU
+ AMD 7970 = Awesome card for 1080p; 280x is just a rebranded 7970.
+ Awesome NZXT Phantom 410 case.
+ Antec's Awesome 80 Plus Platinum Power Supply.
+ 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, 120GB SSD, DVD Writer, Windows 8.1 to finish the build off.

I hope this helps. This is more than enough for a build. Seriously, you need not spend anymore than that.
