Hey, so I'm planning on building myself a new computer, here are the specs:

-Thermaltake commander ms-2
-intel core I5 3330 PCD 1155 3.2GHZ
-Kingston (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1333
-Asrock B75M-R2.0
-HD7850 1GB DDR5
-then im getting a power supply from a friend, I think it's 500W
-and I'm putting my HDD from my current computer into this one, to keep my files and operating system.

Any thoughts? Anything that needs changing? I've never built a computer before and my friend (the one who's giving me the PSU) will help me but I wanted your opinions.

The total price is: € 622

If you have extra money I'd suggest getting the 7870 instead.

Originally I wanted the 560 ti but it was too expensive, I wanted to keep the price around 600, so I went with the 7850 which is similar. Would the 7870 make a noticeable difference or is it just a few frames per second better?

It doesn't matter so long as it's a higher end graphics card. You'll be able to play all your games maxed out easily. If you wanna know the specific difference, look up benchmarks of each card and compare the frames yourself.
