Good build but keep in mind that the Radeon HD 7770 is a better card than the GTX 550 and it's also cheaper in price. Anyway, your CPU is a bit high-end for the GPU. Personally, I would drop down to an FX 8150 (which means a change in motherboard) and spend a little bit more on the card. A 7870 or GTX 660 would give you better performance.

Definately need to spend some more for an aftermarket CPU cooler with that processor, it's still a top tier beast and won't need replacing for many more years if intel keep on making slight archetecture improvements rather than frequency.
