My new build - T1000 - 05-27-2013
I am building a new computer after my old one recently broke down.
I'm planning on getting these parts.
intel i5 3470
xfx radeon hd 7850
gigabyte ga-z77 ds3h
corsair vengeance 8 gigs ddr3 1600 mhz
thermaltake tr2 600 watts psu
I am planning on playing metroid prime, skyward sword, twilight princess, custom robo, mgs:twin snakes, i-ninja, super smash bros brawl and melee, and sonic adventure battle 2 at 2-3x ir and 2-4 samples antialiasing.

Get yourself a psu from a more reputable brand. Someone else will be along shortly to talk about performance.
RE: My new build - T1000 - 05-27-2013
How about a corsair cx750?
RE: My new build - NaturalViolence - 05-27-2013
Sure. 750 watts is probably a bit overkill though.
RE: My new build - Venomx1 - 05-27-2013
spend a little more for a 3570k (20 dollars more and wont break the bank).
and for Power supply i suggest Seasonic 550W 80+ GOLD Certified PSU. 45A on 12v rail (540w) and its modular!. and its cheap.
itll be more than enough power for your build.
hope i helped!

This one is cheaper
RE: My new build - NaturalViolence - 05-27-2013
It's not modular though. And it's bronze rated instead of gold.
RE: My new build - admin89 - 05-27-2013
It can provide more than enough power for his PC . Even i5 3570k @ 4.5GHz + 7850 are no problem
@OP Get Asrock Z77 Pro 4 instead of Gigabyte Z77 ds3h . Asrock Z77 has "no k overclock" function , you can overclock your i5 3470 to 4.0GHz
RE: My new build - pauldacheez - 05-27-2013
The Radeon 7850 should be fine, I think, but I don't know shit about GPU performance.
The i5-3470 might not be enough, especially for Metroid Prime and the two Zeldas. A 3570K will do better, especially when overclocked.

yes the one you linked is a good PSU too but i hate non-modular psus ( i refuse to self-build with them nowadays. to much clutter
) but if he doesnt mind cords the 30w less PSU should be fine for him. plus itll make him save some cash.if he goes your route he can throw in a 3570k & swap mobos & throw in that extra 10-15$ towards an aftermarket cooler if he doesnt have one already. and if he does he could use it for a slightly better graphics card.

Radeon 7850 will be fine. i can play twilight princess full speed with it at 3x IR/ 4x SSAA (thought it required me to overclock to get it 100% fullspeed, 2.5x IR /w 4x SSAA will be fine for a stock 7850)
