Over the last week or so I've been researching and putting together mock builds as I'm looking to build my 2nd PC. I've started narrowing down my parts but I'm just having trouble finalizing everything as certain reviews are causing me to second guess some decisions.
I'm hoping I can get some advice on what routes to take so I can finalize my build and purchase it soon.
Here is the current list of item's I'm looking at.
*Layout Used from Sticky
Approx Purchase Date: Within the next 5 days.
Budget Range: Max of $800 - Looking to spend closer to $700. ($100 of Wiggle Room)
System Usage: Primarily Gaming
Buying Monitor: No
Parts To Upgrade: Complete New Build
Purchase OS: No
Preferred Website Retailer: Newegg.com
Parts Preference: Intel Based Computer
Overclocking: No
SLI/Crossfire: No
Monitor Res: 1920x1080
Current List of Parts:
1) SAPPHIRE 100355L Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
2) Intel Core i5-3470 Ivy Bridge 3.2GHz (3.6GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2500 BX80637i53470
3) Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
4) NZXT Phantom 410 CA-PH410-W1 White Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

6) ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155 Intel Z75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
7) CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
My two biggest concerns were the Motherboard and Power Supply as I was reading mixed reviews and just wasn't sure. I hope I can receive some insight as to whether I should stick away from any of these parts or if this is a fairly decent build for the price range I'm looking at.
Again, thanks in advance for anyone's help I hope I can hear back shortly!
