Looks good for a mid-range gaming rig.

Never, unless you are spergy about seriously overclocking the hell out of everything. I wouldn't trust any part to last forever until the computer gets replaced and you have running water surrounded by electricity. A Master Hyper 212 EVO is good enough for everything and the paste it comes with.

Yeah I might overclock it.

Okay... I'd need to know prices on the stuff you're listing there in order to be specific... But...
General answers:

HD7850's are rather hard to find anymore and usually overpriced as hell by 3rd party retailers atm. You're likely going to be better off buying an R7 260x 2GB card instead, or maybe even an R9 270.

That RAM is pretty terrible for DDR3 1600 (Very high latency, 11-11-11-30). Unless you're just getting a superb deal on it, I wouldn't touch it.

That's a TERRIBLE motherboard. It's a 700 series chipset so it will not support USB 3.0 or SATA III (6GB/s). Again, unless you're getting just an outright amazing deal and cannot afford something better, that's a horrible investment as you're buying something already 3 years+ out of date.

There's basically ZERO reason to buy a SATA III SSD, when you're buying a MoBo that won't support it. You won't even see the speed of that drive, making it a terrible investment. If you're budget is that tight, leave out this pointless SSD, and put that money into buying a halfway decent motherboard instead.

Case, eh, whatever. I like the HAF series well enough, and have a 932 myself. I love the airflow.

Corsair CX series PSU... I wouldn't buy this either. Corsair PSUs are very hit or miss, and their only good ones are those that are rebranded SeaSonic PSUs. It's likely cheaper and better to just buy a SeaSonic directly.

And the CPU: The FX series 6 core CPUs are actually somewhat lackluster compared to the Thuban 6 cores, but should be decent. You'll probably be better off just going with a faster Quad core though, unless you do a hell of a lot of multi-threaded tasks.

So... Really, I've seen worse, but I would not build this myself, and would do all I could to keep a friend from doing so, unless they were getting just an absolutely incredible deal: ie: they were getting that full kit for under $500 US.

Edit: Just noticed the USB3 line there and checked, Gigabyte added USB3 support on that particular MoBo, so that part is moot. It does, however, still not support SATA III. I also checked the MoBo out on the manufacturer page, and they have a warning informing that it will not support FX CPUs by default, so if you buy that MoBo you're going to also have to download a BIOS update and be able to do your own flashing of the BIOS for it to enable FX CPU support.

What Mobo do you recommend something from $80-$120 is max, also go's with the PSU and RAM.

Well, you don't have to worry about PSU compatibility at all. RAM, just as long as it's a type supported by the MoBo, not a big deal, and as you're looking at DDR3 1600, basically all Motherboards are going to support that, so that's a non-issue. You DO, however, have to make absolutely sure that the MoBo socket matches your CPU type.

The HAF 912 is a mid-tower, so you can use a full ATX board... So, given the price range, I'd go with this Gigabyte board instead:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128627
That's the GA-970A-D3P, so a better Northbridge for gaming, still supports AM3+ CPUs and without seeming to need a BIOS flash to support FX chips, has a wider range of RAM support, and full SATA III support. And it's only $85 US on Newegg, so hopefully shouldn't be much more expensive elsewhere, as I don't know where you are at.

You can't go wrong with adding a water cooler. Especially if you want to over clock one day. I recommend the CORSAIR Hydro Series H60. Have you considered using a modular power supply? It does make quiet a difference with cable management. Perhaps a SeaSonic M12II 620 Bronze 620W? As for the RAM, look into something with a lower latency. I like G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 1600. I love their customer service too.

G. Skills the only RAM I use in my business. A very small amount of my clients ever have a problems with their RAM. If there is an issue, G. Skills just send out a new kit. What is not to love?
