The PSU you bought will be fine for your build, according to here:

http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm

a system running a single GTX 770 only needs about 575 watts, however, their recommendations do not take any overclocking into consideration, so I normally suggest adding 50-100W to their recommendations if you plan to overclock. You should be fine assuming you will be overclocking. However, if you plan to SLI in the future, you will need a larger PSU when the time comes.

Looks good, would suggest a 2x8GB set of DRAM rather than 4x4GB, 2 sticks is less stress on the MC (memory controller) (hence, better performance (minor yes, but a bit. With your rig a good 600 would be sufficient, what you have chosen will be plenty
