If you are using Windows 7 you could use the snipping tool, you can capture just what you want.

this is what ill probably go for. Might change for ivybridge i3's when there released
p.s. the i3 should be a 2120

Don't go for the 2105, the only thing that makes it more expensive than a 2100 is that it has HD 3000 graphics but of course if you are getting a graphics card that won't matter.
I would massively recommend the i3 2120, it is clocked 0.2ghz higher and seeing as you can't really overclock i3's I would say that is a big bonus

If I may;
+£40 for your case, or whatever.
As you're going for an i3, the G43 is all you need

For what you need, which is raw gaming performance, the i3 and the 7850 is the best choice.
P.S.
How all of that fits under £600 i'll never know
You should be able to get 4.2-4.4GHz with that cooler provided
For a that system, I really think a 430w PSU is fine. However, I believe AMD ask that you have a 500w PSU just to be safe.
If any other member here thinks that 430w wouldn't cover it, i'd bump it up to Corsair's 500w one.

That will be fine - a 3570K @ 4.4 is ~150w with a 7850 @ stock needing ~100w.
Corsair's datasheet (pg 6 of the below):
http://www.corsair.com/en/media/cms/manual/49-000036_rev_AA_CXv2Manual.pdf
States that the 430 has 336w on the 12v rail so there is probably about 50w to spare with fans and HDDs etc when under full load.

WAIT! Aren't the SeaGate drives just terrible? Swap that out for a WD Caviar Blue or Green 1TB, might even be cheaper too.

OK his choice I guess, I'm just saying that I've heard bad things about those Barracuda drives, and am loving my Caviar blue. Also, the lower end Corsair PSUs aren't nearly as good as the higher end ones, and are OEM'd by Channel Well, not SeaSonic like the AX PSUs. You're better off getting a SeaSonic IMO, pardon my American links, but I think this will still fall into budget. SeaSonic PSU

I've been told off before for disregarding Seagate drives, as I always thought they were bad because of reviews etc.

On Newegg, 157 out of maybe 700 review are 1 or two stars for that same hard drive, which usually means the hard drive was DOA or broke shortly after. Not the best odds IMO.
