Okay, I am nearly done with this build hopefully. I have everything aside from a PSU, MOBO, and sound card selected. Any help would be appreciated!

Parts not needed: Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS (Windows 7), HD (Just going normal HDD, probably Western Digital)
P.S. I am not factoring this into the budget.

Other parts needed:possibly a different case, aftermarket heatsink (if needed), Monitor

Budget: Preferably around $1,000, but with the parts I have picked its okay to be a little over.

CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115073
Intel i5 2500

Case (For now): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133198
Thermaltake level 10 series mid-tower case
(For this all I really want is a case with good heating and case fans so I dont have to buy a heatsink and use the stock one with the processor. I dont trust myself installing one haha.)

GPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125419
Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 2 GB

RAM:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345
Corsair Vengance 8 GB (4 GB x 2)

I was leaning towards this motherboard, but I am not sure:

OC: No
Crossfire: Maybe

Any help with knowing if all these parts would work together is greatly appreciated! As well as any help on a power supply, motherboard, and soundcard.

I think for a $210 you're better off getting a motherboard with the newer PantherPoint chipset (Z77). My personal recommendation would be the Asus P8Z77-V. Its $10 cheaper and has onboard wifi. For the PSU, I'd go with an EarthWatts 650W. You could go with a quality 500W+ PSU if its cheaper. The P8Z77-V has an excellent onboard sound chipset which should be more than suitable for outstanding sound playback.
