NEED HELP ON NEW (AND 1ST) $800 BUILD PLEASE

It's decent, but you DO NOT need a 1000w psu. You would be fine with a 750w max, and that's if you want to do sli. I don't know if I would trust that psu anyways.
Get the 7950. It is generally stronger and is better at over clocking. If you want to keep about the same performance you could get a 7870 or 660, just make sure the 660 is $15 cheaper than the cheapest 7870. Then look at an i5 3470. that about $80 off already. You could hold off on the cooler, because you can't oc with the 3470.
This motherboard is a lot cheaper, but you won't be able to sli or cfx with it

You can cut off the $50 because all of your items have free shipping and you won't need thermal paste. I would also get a hard drive instead because 120gb isn't that much storage, and if you look for a few minutes, you will save some money as well.
There is about $200 off and you will lose almost no performance.

Don't get a zambezi cpu. It might not be a bad idea to get that mobo and get a 4300, 6300, or 8320 though. The 8320 is only $150 on amazon prime...

my build is fine, overclocked runs like a beast mate  

yeah idk, i think the 3570k is best to go with moving forward, i dont want a completely non future proof desktop! and same with the mobo, it would make me lose in the long run cause i would have to buy entirely new and more expensive gpu instead of just adding another. for the storage.. i have 160 gb on my current pc and im not even at 120 gb usage, so i figured ssd would be best cause its faster and i dont need the storage. NOT going to AMD. good point on the $50 dollars. i would go with a 800w psu cause i plan to add another 660 ti eventually, but i found that 1000w and it has good reviews everywhere i read them.

what happened between you and AMD that causes you to hate them so much?

i dont hate amd! nothing against it, just prefer to go intel bc all my friends and people i associate with irl have sall intel. i know a ton more about intel and comparisons of intel parts than i do amd, so that is my only reason

oh nonono i thought that you hated the graphic card side of amd.they need to either pick gpu's or cpu's because it gets kinda confusing and ya intel>amd until amd get their stuff together

Let's be honest intel isn't better than amd for the price. I am really confused on this thread now. I thought that you said you wanted to cut out $300 from your build. The only way you're going to do that is get a cheaper mobo, gpu, and cpu.

he did, but if he cuts 300$ he wont get the desired performance, i cut corners and went with a decent 8core amd but he seems to hate amd, so i really dont get it.
