So im currently building a computer, however, i really have no idea on what components I need for what motherboard and instead of bothering my tech friend for the umpteenth time, i came here. Im currently looking at a Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 here: http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-CrossFireX-DisplayPort-Motherboard-G1-SNIPER/dp/B007R21JY0%3FSubscriptionId%3DAKIAJ6KF4IXDNZOSZOOQ%26tag%3Dmouy2013-20%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB007R21JY0 and I currently have no idea what processors would be good for it, what type of wattage I need for it, or whether or not the AMD Radeon HD 7770 I want to get will work for it. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Ok so I am guessing you want to do some gaming?
If you want to game decently these are some guidlines of the parts you will need I will include parts from Intel and AMD to be unbiased.


Mother Board:
----------------
Intel - http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Intel-1155-Motherboard-GA-Z77-DS3H/dp/B007R21JWC/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369289929&sr=1-5&keywords=lga+1155+motherboard

AMD - http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GA-970A-D3-AM3-SATA-Motherboard/dp/B0056G10WK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369289994&sr=1-1&keywords=am3%2B+motherboard

CPU:
----------------
Intel - http://www.amazon.com/Intel-Core-i5-3570K-Quad-Core-Processor/dp/B007SZ0E1K/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369290288&sr=1-2&keywords=i5+2500k

AMD - http://www.amazon.com/AMD-Phenom-1100T-Processor-HDE00ZFBGRBOX/dp/B004DALW5K/ref=sr_1_8?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369290687&sr=1-8&keywords=amd+phenom+ii+x6

NOTE*-Both CPU's can be overclocked but the AMD is a Black edition which means an unlocked multiplier.

HSF:
----------------
Both - http://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-Hyper-212-RR-212E-20PK-R2/dp/B005O65JXI/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369290838&sr=1-1&keywords=212+evo

RAM:
----------------
Both - http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-Desktop-Memory-CML16GX3M4A1600C9B/dp/B0058J1QYC/ref=sr_1_14?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369291002&sr=1-14&keywords=16+gb+ram
(P.S.- I know 16GB is a little mush but it gives a lot of breathing room.)

GPU
----------------
Nvidia - GTX 550 Ti - http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-GeForce-GTX-GDDR5-Graphics/dp/B005O0G3FC/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369291963&sr=1-3&keywords=gtx+550ti
- OR -
GTX 660 Ti -http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-SUPERCLOCKED-Graphics-02G-P4-3662-KR/dp/B008S15XA0/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369291446&sr=1-2&keywords=gtx+660+ti

ATI - HD 7770 - http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GV-R775OC-1GI-Radeon-PCI-Express-Graphic/dp/B0079XWPEK/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369291879&sr=1-3&keywords=hd+7770
- OR -
HD 7870- http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-mini-Displayport-PCI-Express-Graphic-GV-R785OC-2GD/dp/B007PJTNYS/ref=sr_1_10?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1369291594&sr=1-10&keywords=hd+7870

Note*- The HD 7770 and 550Ti are close matches for performance as are the HD 7870 and 660 Ti.

Note2*- I know you were talking about the HD 7770 but these will preform much better. The 7770 would work OK but you won't be getting a steady 60FPS on most new games maxed at 1080P. I have the 5750 and it preforms well for the price but those cards are much better.

PSU:

As for the case and monitor etc... those are more for you to decide on.


These are pretty decent builds and can be adjusted to fit your budget.
Tell me what you think about it and we can change it to fit what you need better.
