I3-2100 processor good for a graphics card?

Great choice on the GPU, the i3 will have 0 troubles running that card.

As far as your power supply choice goes, what is your budget?, that one I would not touch with a 20 foot pole.

Don't worry it won't bottleneck; even a really, really cheap Celeron hardly bottlenecks a higher end GTX 560ti.

For the PSU, get an Antec Neo Eco 520W. It's $46 with the promo code, and will last much longer, and is also 80+ certified, so it's much, much more efficient.

Basically, it'll output more power consistently.

With the 7850 you linked you wouldn't need anymore than a 400 watt power supply. Not sure why you linked a 7850 but mention a gtx 560.

Your CPU would pair nicely with the 7850.

Well I would like to stay under $100 for the power supply. I would possibly be willing to go a little bit higher.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... has -$10 off with code CollegeSave10.

These would be good choices.

I totally didn't just say that.

Also, the CX 430 is a 3rd tier power supply, the Antec VP 450 is a better power supply for the same price, and it's a tier higher.

You won't need a $100 power supply unless you're Crossfiring/SLI

Use the extra money to get a better CPU, the i5 3470 is on sale for only $150 at microcenter. You'll see way better performance from the 4 cores and higher clock rate. For only $30 more, that's a really good deal

Depends on motherboard you use: if you have a Z68 or Z77 chipset it will allow your cpu to cooperate with stand-alone graphic card. If you have P67 chipset it will not interfere with graphic card.
