You're links are not working, but from what I can see, there's nothing wrong with your build. How much does this build come to? Is there budget room to upgrade the graphics card (GTX 660ti or better)? The Lite-On BD writer looks to write DVDs as well, so what is the need for a separate DVD writer? What is the resolution of your 50" TV?

Sounds ok rig to me.
Note: I do not know Seagate much but I am buying a Seagate Constellation or a enterprise HDD from Seagate. I know they sound like HDD from the old days or in other words they rattle a tad when they are in use. I would suggest you check reviewers for the Seagate you are buying, after all it is a system also used for entertainment, isn't it.
I wanted to check reviewers for the MSI motherboard for compatibility with memory you chose but pff newegg is out of stock and does not have a single review:/
Go to MSI and check memory compatibility for this board.

Get the Hyper 212 EVO for a few bucks more. no reason to get the 560Ti when the 7850 is the same price and performs ~1.5x better.

RAM is great. More than 8GB is too much.

Just wanted to say you should put this build into pcpartpicker.com. It'll search for the cheapest sites because Newegg isn't always cheapest. YOu could end up saving a lot of money on it.

Again, your Blu-Ray burner should be able to play MP3/CDs as well, unless you're looking for a drive to play CDs while burning blu-ray/dvds. Also, I'd probably go for the HD7850 unless budget allows for the GTX660ti or better.
