Stick with the 7850... but I'd try for the ASUS version at the least (EVGA and MSI are good). This is because it's a waste to only have one fan on this card when it has so much OC potential.

Anyway, yes, your build should work fine. If you want improvements and stuff, use the sticky at the top of this forum. I see a few things to improve on and some ways to save money.

Oh, and are you sure 120GB is enough for you? I'd get a mechanical HDD for files.

7850 is the graphics card.

For gaming, I'd get a mechanical 500GB or 1TB 7200rpm HDD to store actual files. You'll run out of space on the 120GB really quickly. Put your OS and any games/applications you want to run fast on the SSD.
 
For hard drives, you can't really go wrong with Seagate or Western Digital.

For a good 7850, I would go with this one

Its already factory overclocked fairly decently right out of the box. The nice advantage of buying a factory oc'd card is that you're covered by the warranty. When you overclock on your own yes you can push them further but you void your warranty.

HDD, I'd go with a Samsung Spinpoint optimally. Both Seagate and WD are nice as long as you make sure that the HDD you're buying isn't a "bad" one (check the customer reviews on that one).

For the 7850, factory OC is almost pointless 'cause you can OC it yourself just as easily. ASUS costs less and has better cooling. That Gigabyte has some issues occasionally with the fans rattling. While the warranty IS a boon, the 7850 can easily be overclocked 25% (and even OCs of over 50% are possible!)... which is more than the factory OC version. So unless you do something stupid, you shouldn't have a problem with the 7850 failing on YOUR OC equaling the factory OC.
