Will my motherboard bottleneck the other components of my computer?

why do you have a z77, and a locked CPU? (non-K)
anyway, no. The motherboard doesn't bottleneck anything. You could have a PCIe lane 8x, but that one is 16x, so not even there is anything bad.
Since you have a correct socket for that CPU, the adequate PCIe lane for the GPU, 6GB/s sata connections, I don't see where you could possibly be bottlenecked. In fact, that chipset is "too good" for that CPU (like i said before).
Finally, that motherboard is no crappy thing
And no, you wouldn't see any improvements, on changing the motherboard alone.
Are you having issues with your build? Lags, freezes, low frame rate?

What power supply are you using? If you're experiencing problems that could be the source. In theory your motherboard shouldn't bottleneck the hardware, unless it doesn't have the appropriate PCI slot for the GPU.
Any problems with the system to make you ask that?
EDIT: Your mobo features a PCI Express 3.0 x 16 slot, so no problem there. Hope I helped!!

intel are very good motherboard, it has a Z77 high end chipset, the only limit is that it probably don't overclock.
Keep it, very good mobo, won't bottleneck you
no ADVANGATE TO CHANGE you don't have a I5 K unlock so no overclock possible.

Thanks for the response. Should I be worried that I have a non-K i5 with this motherboard?

nono. The thing is, the Z77, Z87 and Z97 chipsets allow for "K" cpu to be overclocked, through the multiplier.
Basically, it allows for easier overclock, and gives access to more control over the CPU, but it is oriented towards unlocked CPUs, proper for overclock.
Its like having a car with a button saying "NITROUS!!", but then you have no bottle of nitrous inside the car. ^^
it's all good, don't worry 😉 don't forget to pick best answer in order to help other fellow users.
