Will my motherboard slow down my system.

I recently got a new computer. I have a gtx 780 graphics card, a i7 3770k processor, and my motherboard is a ASRock Z75 Pro3 LGA 1155. I know its a very cheap motherboard. Will it bottleneck my computer, and should I upgrade? This system is used for gaming primarily.
 
no it will not...
well only in terms of overclocking your i7 maybe...
you would not be able to get it as high as on some more premium boards...
but that also depends on how good of a chip you have in your hands , some overclock better , it´s kind of a lottery really...
