Check my build?

Hi, I'm interested in building my first computer, and I'm looking to make a mid range gaming PC (need everything). Does this build look reasonable for the price? Trying to get everything from newegg.
Is there a big difference between the sapphire and HIS 7850 GPU's? it looks like the sapphire one is out of stock at new egg, so I wasn't sure if it was worth getting that on Amazon.

Thanks!

there could be some nit picking for a measly few cents or 1% in performance depending on opinions.
looks like you did you're homework, nice job.

Looks fine - any chance you live near a Microcenter? They have the i5-3570K for $190 in store.

in assumption you havent combo dealed any of it(combo deals cannot be wishlisted so who knows), it would be cheaper to get an i5-3570k+your mobo I would think. since the 17$ on combo savings will outweigh the 10$ difference between a 2500k and a 3570k, unless you are buying the 2500k within the promo code time which ends in 3 days

ooh, nice combo. I think I'll get that, especially if I miss the 3 day combo.
should I get thermal paste too?
is there a good guide for assembling everything?

thanks again
