Overclocking: Nah
SLI or Crossfire: Nah

Additional Comments: uuuuuuuuh...
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: It's just time I guess, bought my last PC 3 years ago, Power Supply blew up while running Need for Speed Most Wanted, so I figured it's time for an upgrade.
Currently, I picked out some stuff that I think look wonderful, but you can never be too sure, so I wanted second/third/forth opinions.
Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming Case - $90
Intel Core i5-3550 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz - $210
MSI B75A-G43 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard - $90
XFX Core Edition Radeon HD 7850 2GB - $190
Seagate Barracuda 1TB HDD - $90
CORSAIR TX650 V2 - $85
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) - $40
All of that is $795, no tax, no shipping. Uh, everything I have listed here is just about all I feel I need.. Don't really need a SSD at the moment..
Also not looking to downgrade in some areas to make room for aftermarket heatsinks, water cooling or like overclocking measures.. I could overclock, but I'm just not at all that concerned about turning 3.7GHz into 4.0GHz so it's not something I keep in mind while shopping. Just explaining my choice of motherboard/processor, although feel free to change anything as long as it's not "this will give you a better overclock".
Other than that.. Help plz?
