I have been doing lots of research for my second budget gaming rig and I would like some input on it. Here is my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1nUeB

The first thing is in my searching I have read some posts when people get bottlenecks in their system. Will I have any bottlenecks?

The second thing is am I making any bad choices in my hardware picks? Now I know I may not have the BEST stuff, but I'm trying to keep it under $700.

That's it. If I missed anything please let me know.

All the parts seem to be compatible ^.^
EDIT: NOPE... i was wrong. The PSU and Mobo arent compatible. The PSU has a 8 pin CPU Power Connector BUT the Mobo only has a 4 Pin Power Connector Slot. Lemme try to find you one that works ^.^

I guess I'm kinda a Intel/Nvidia fanboy. I would like to stick with my build. Thanks for all the great replies, but my only question is will I ever bottleneck with this build?

With a 2nd, 3rd or 4th gen i5, you cant even bottleneck 2 780s in SLI by a lot, so you should be fine for quite a while.
