Maybe you should have gotten at least 8GB RAM 1600. And I don't trust that Sharkoon PSU.

i got 8GB 1333MHz but the timings were real nice on the ram so i chose this one instead and the sharkoon PSU, sharkoon makes pretty darn cool cases so why doesn't it count the same for their PSU's(probably not)?

I tend to avoid no-name brands that aren't recommended by the vast majority. Kinda like a safety net. Also, I like to set one of my minimum requirements to have at least 80 + bronze certified by both reviewers and on the product. Also, different places may have certain manufacturers the don't sell big elsewhere in the world, so if its an unrecognised brand i try to find any reviews but mostly i avoid it. Plus cheaping out on PSU is not great so I look from £50 upwards (I'm in the UK). But that my personal preference.

Components are fine. I would of preferred a different power supply but at the work load you are putting on your system you are more then fine I'd imagine. Also the ram I would of bumped to 1600 but you are fine their. Case personal choice I won't knock that solid cooler noctua makes great stuff. Can't complain a whole lot I'd say 7/10 a good average system the 7770 isn't going to break any FPS records but its enough for most things.

GeIL is a pretty good manufacturer for ram, has lost of reviews out on the internetz and maybe you haven't heard of sharkoon since its just really popular in Germany. yea i guess i shouldn't have gone with the sharkoon PSU, i simply chose the PSU cause a revision 2 of those PSU's were coming out and they were all of 50% sounded like a great deal...

i chose the noctua because i'm gonna be overclocking dat FX :I oh and btw, should i go for another HD7790 2GB and crossfire those two, or should i go for one of the newer R9 series throw the HD7770 on ebay?

Crossfire isn;t worth it at low to mid range cards. It is always better to get a single gpu unless you are already getting the highest tier available at the time.
If you are thinking of getting a new card, you could go for a 7870 or R9 270/ GTX 760 for medium to high settings on 1080p.
