Recently saw this on new egg. Some decent parts in the list, wanted to see if this is a good bang for the buck ? Closing in on my final build time.

For those of you who don't want to click links and/or are too busy to do so :
Rosewill CHALLENGER-U3 Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX
MSI N660 Ti PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card (Model:N660 Ti PE 2GD5/OC)
Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-650 650W Continuous @40°C, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified,
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K (Model:BX80637I53570K)
Crucial Ballistix sport 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (Model:ST1000DM003)
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus
Also comes with some 20$ cd drive, but I'll only be using it to install the OS.
Total comes to right around 850$ for all of it, about 950$ with the OS.
It -feels- cheap, and that worries me. Do you guys think those parts are of solid quality ? I looked at the reviews and most were,at minimum, 4 eggs while others rocked 5 eggs.
I really like the i5 3570k, It's got a lot of power for it's pricepoint and I don't need an i7.
The GTX 660 Ti looks pretty nice from what I've looked at and I was originally looking at a GTX 670, though they don't seem to be off each other by too huge of margin.
Given that price, I'm able to invest in some peripherals for the system, thinking about a spare storage drive ( as I do a LOT of video recording / editing / music editing ) And have a pretty extensive music collection and game collection.
I'm thinking a western digital caviar black 2t ? 180 bucks isn't too bad for tripling my storage space.
Do you think I could get a better deal with different parts ?
I'm concerned about quality here, so definitely trying to get fact checked before I start thinking about buying.
