Does this build have any potential bottlenecks?

Hi everyone, i've chosen all the parts for my upcoming build and want to know if there's anything that could possibly be bottlenecking my system between these components: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Y1q8

I'm quite a newby at this, because this is my first build. I already have a 1080p monitor (saw one on sale so I jumped on the deal), and I will get 8 gb of ram for free. I know I'm missing something that everyone with a high end gaming pc has, which is an ssd, but i really just can't fit it into my budget right now with the parts I've selected. It dosen't really seem that important to me anyway, as i've heard that it only improves loading times. I just want to make sure this build will work fluidly, and if anyone has suggestions on components that I should change or replace, I would love to hear your input also! Thanks guys.
 
Well if you are only going with the ram that comes with the motherboard you should know that it is only one stick and that will limit the performance some what by not being dual channel. You should really do the ram in pairs of two for best performance.

If you are only gaming on a single 1080p monitor there is not really much need to SLI GTX 670's as one can really handle a single 1080p monitor with no problem.

It's not really a bottleneck...but expect the hard drive to die within months (at the longest). Don't store irreplaceable data. :) You might be better off taking out one of the 670s and using the difference to get an SSD.

Seriously? Months? Um I was pretty sure that any hard drive would last at least a few years or something...
