Is this a good build?

Hello, folks from Tom's Hardware, I was just wondering what you guys thought of my mid range Gaming PC build. I was originally on a budget of $1000 Australian Dollars, but I have accommodated more headroom to allow for the unlocked 3570 and a aftermarket cooler in order to prevent any hassle upgrading as I can OC my processor to increase it's longevity. On the other side if you think these upgrades are unnecessary, I would be very happy to make a few changes and so would my wallet.

With a K CPU and a CPU fan, sounds like you are planning to overclock. Your board does not support that.
I would personally choose a slightly better motherboard and not trust that Kingston SSD, but this is what your budget can do.

Do not get a B75 cuz you can't OC the processor multipliers on the B75. Get a Z77 ASRock Extreme 4 or ASRock Z77 Pro4.

This 7870 is much better than your 7850. and only $4 more.
