Solid build overall I see no real weaknesses, but I have two alternatives you can look at.

For the same price you can get a GTX 570 instead of your 7850.

Also, I recommend the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Motherboard for that pricepoint, though Asus makes good boards as well.

Overall, solid build though.

 

[deadbart]

the 570 is like $40 more:/

 

[loops]

looks fine. I would play around with the idea of getting 670 some how or wait till what a 660ti out.

 

[deadbart]

is a 660ti better than a 7850?

 

[azeem40]

It should be when released.

 

[MajorAdvantage]

It will also be much more expensive.
