Thanks for the help.
Looks fine. Don't have any suggestions to guides, but I assume some other facepunchers can help you out. Building a computer is pretty plug-n-play. The only problem is diagnostics :v
OH Btw, did you consider operating system? Of course you can run Linux. But I'll just automatically assume you're a windows guy.

Yes, I already have Windows 7. Thanks for your reply.
You could save a lot by getting a 650w power supply instead, 850w is far too much
Like said before 850W is excessive, you can get something smaller. I would also get a 7870 instead of a 7850. The price increase is not that much and the performance increase is actually quite large.
Don't get the Kuhler 620, the pump is pretty loud and they're lousy coolers. If you have a large case (at least 9 inches wide) then get the NZXT Havik 140, if not then a Hyper 212 EVO will do fine. If you really want a closed loop liquid cooler, then spend a bit more and get something half decent like a Corsair H80i.

Thank you, this helps a lot.
I'm not an experienced builder but these sites were pretty helpful to me.

The community over at pcpartpicker is very friendly and helpful as well. Go ahead and post your build over there for some more input, if you'd like.
