CPU- Intel i7 3770

Cooling-Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo

Motherboard- ASROCK H77 Pro4 LGA1155

RAM- A-Data XPG Gaming Series 2x4gb

Storage-Samsung 840 250gb ssd
Western Digital 1tb hard drive

Video Card- MSI Radeon HD 7870 ghz edition 2gb

Case-Antec Eleven Hundred

Power Supply- EVGA SuperNova 650w Modular Power Supply 80 plus gold

Drive- Pioneer blu-ray/cd/dvd burner/writer combo

I'm wondering the graphics card will be in balanced with the processing power. I am also wondering if the motherboard is sufficient, and last is if the power supply is overkill for this and if it is what is a better option. I am obviously not overclocking this pc.
Thank you so much for the help. :)

I've run a very similar build to this in the past, I'd probably cut corners a little and go for a 3570 and maybe pick up a better graphics card? I've not run an MSI 7870 so can't comment on their cooling, but I had two tahiti LE based 7870s and just as a single card set up they ran a lot hotter than expected (80-85 degrees at load). I know for a fact that the PSU will do the job just fine though and have had no real issues with the ASRock mobo that isn't easily solved :)

I was wondering if I should go with the Geforce GTX 760 instead or maybe the Radeon 7970. Any recommendations?

If you can swing a 760 or 770 they are sweet cards though a lot of people say don't bother with the 4Gb versions. Check out pc part picker it is a fantastic site for the home builder.

Also in a lot of benchmarks the 760's scale well when you add a second. Though right now 3/4 Sli and Xfire are a massive waste of money.
