Any Foreseeable Bottlenecks in my PC Build?

I believe this is a solid PC build but would like to make sure there are no bottlenecks. If there are any bottlenecks, I would love recommendations for improvements that do not increase the cost too much. A $45-$60 increase is acceptable. Here is the link http://pcpartpicker.com/p/NRTZWZ Thanks everyone.
 
I would recommend get the GTX 970 rather than the 770. It is more power efficient, better clock speeds, potentially quieter and most of all it's cheaper. Asus Strix is the manufacturer I would go with, I'll be buying this card very soon. Other than that, it seems to be a pretty solid build
 


The only reason I went with the 770 is because it came with a free game and I'm going to be pretty much broke on savings after I buy my PC. Plus I want to be able to use it once I get it. Also I want to get the Borderlands Pre Sequel anyways.
 


The 770 comes with a free game (a game I was going to buy anyways)
 


Well the 970 is better and cheaper. The money you save almost gives you enough to buy Borderlands 😉
 

I got the 770 for the same price as the 970 you recommended.
