Your power supply is actually dangerous. You need to get a real quality one or you risk destroying components when your supply goes bad. Also you have a I7 3770K processor. For gaming the I5 3570K is just as fast for 95% of the time but is $100 cheaper. I'd take that $100 and get a better supply and motherboard.
 
What will you be doing with this rig?

You should drop the I7 and spend that money on a better GPU.
You definitely need a more reliable and stable power supply.
Will you be overclocking? If so, you will need at least a Extreme 4 instead of the pro3.

Yes, get a GTX 760 video card.
