Nice apart from the budget Corsair PSU! Much better unit and will allow to add second 770 for SLI http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1850snlb9

Is the psu really that bad? and what 750w would you reccomend?

That's a nice build but since you're getting an unlocked processor and a great mobo by which it seems to me that you would surely O.C. Corsair CX series are not recommended for O.C ing and not at all for that high end build.
You could go wiht the corsair CS650M/XFX 650W/Seasonic 620W/EVGA super nova 650W.

It is a budget unit with low temp capacitors. I suggested the 850 because if you are staying with a single card you would be fine with quality 550-600watt unit. Example http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9 or 650watts http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb9

Something like the Seasonic 620W/XFX PRO 550W would be more than enough to power up your whole system.
