I'm only keeping the Radeon 7770 in this build for a few months until i can afford a GPU of my own (a GTX 970 or 980ti, not sure yet). How badly does the Radeon 7770 get bottlenecked in this build ? Thank you for all replies :)

 
Solution
No RAM?

Everything else looks like it will work. CPU/motherboard are compatible. Just make sure to stick to DDR3 memory.

That power supply is not very good. It's Corsair's bottom-of-the-barrel cheapo model that only sells because it says Corsair on the side. I'd probably grab one of these instead:

oh, and the 7770 shouldn't get bottlenecked. If anything, it will BE the bottleneck. Any game should still be playable, but you may miss out on the high settings and other eye candy on newer FPS/action type games.

I somehow forgot to put the RAM here, i updated it now. About the bottleneck, i worded that wrongly due to my very limited understanding of what bottlenecking is 😛 Thank you for the information though. The PSU was the hardest thing to find. Out of those 2 PSU's you sent me, which is better ? I can afford either.
