He's a spammer. Ignore him.

Judging by the way you're formatting this looks like a custom building site where you pick the parts and it builds it and ships it to you. While this works it's normally much cheaper to build your own and a lot more fun. I won't talk you out of this though as it's normally an alright deal if you don't want to spend the time or effort on building. I still highly recommend building though.

As for parts...
Antec 300 has no cable management. Go for the 302 or a completely different case. HAF 912 is a good choice in that price range.

Try for 1600 MHz RAM rather than 1333 like you have there. Couple dollars difference but the speed will help.

Not sure the purpose in a 2.5inch HDD as they are normally laptop drives, but it should work alright. Cache is kinda small though. Maybe look at a full sized WD Blue or Black, Seagate Barrucuda, or a Samsung F3.

Graphics card is pretty good. Should give you medium to high settings on most games depending on your resolution. I'd try to up that if possible to a 7850 or something of that nature. If you do upgrade the card look at switching the PSU to a CX 600 as well to give yourself some overhead.

Everything else looks good.

If you've got some time to save some cash I would HIGHLY advise waiting a little while longer and saving a bit more. The extra cash will make it so you don't have to upgrade nearly as quickly and will save you money in the long run. I fell in to that exact trap when I built my system a year ago. I bought a 5770 (which wasn't a bad card) but I upgraded within a year as it was quickly becoming dated. Save your money and up the RAM speeds (which should cost not very much more at all). Also save a bit to up the video card as well if you can. If this is your max amount of money you'll ever get, then go for it. But if you can save a bit more, I'd highly advise it.
 
The hd7850 with that specs will have an overhead with 500W.
Also if you don't have the money to get a 2GB hd7850, the hd7850 with 1GB should be ok too. (I'm talking about 1920x1080 or less)
The HDD, 3.5" is cheaper and better, so get that.
For the processor, if you can get an ivy bridge, get that. They're a bit better in overall (gaming included)

would this be good?
Power Colour HD7850, 860Mhz, 1G DDR5, PCIE3.0, DVI, HDMI, miniDISPLAY
 
It's definitely better than a 7770. If you can go for a 2GB model but if you're maximizing your budget then that will be a good choice. I love my 7850. What resolution will you be playing at?
 
Ah ok, I'd probably recommend a 1920x1080 monitor, 22-24" in size if you can afford one.
