For gpu get the r9 290 its almost the same price but much better, for hard drive you should go for seagate barracuda 1tb 7200rpm, stronger PSU like EVGA ,Corsair RM series , or seasonic look for +80 bronze, gold or silver certified

Lose the discrete soundcard

On-Board audio is just as good on 99% of the high end boards out there.

GTX 960 performs slightly worse than GTX 770 at a lower price

GTX 970 performs better than GTX 770 at a similar price

If you want to spend $330 then get a GTX 970
