Go for whichever is in your budget; both the 760 and 770 should provide great performance, obviously the 770 is better, but if you're not willing to pay extra for it, the 760 isn't far off. You should NOT need to upgrade your PSU either, as the NVIDIA recommends the GTX 760 on 500W, whereas the GTX 770 is recommended a 600W.

You don't need an i7 purely for gaming by the way, an i5-4670k (as suggested by smorizio) is more than adequate. Get the K only if you plan on overclocking the CPU, as your motherboard does support it. If you're not...

My advise:
Coolermaster silent pro 1000 Gold PSU
Asus maximus hero VI Mobo
8Gb Gskill ribjaws
Intel 4670K CPU
Samsung 120Gb SSD
Gforce gtx 770 (any brand)
Should be what you are looking for, if you prefer AMD could be a asus Mobo + AMD 8350 + OC

Get the K only if you plan on overclocking the CPU, as your motherboard does support it. If you're not planning to overclock, then just pick up a i5-4670 (notice there is no "k" on the end.) Of course, ensure you're also purchasing a case for your build, as well as additional fans, if not supplied with the case.

All the best. :)
