Hello everyone!
I am planning on building a gaming PC, and I have a...weird situation, I guess. First of all, here's my build as is right now: CLICK ME
So for my birthday I plan on getting some components for my PC. Shortly after that is Christmas, so I will be able to get about $1,000 dollars worth of parts. I also have about 200 dollars of my own money. With that build, would I be ok replacing the GPU with this?: CLICK ME Would I have any bottlenecks?
All I'm asking is if that would be a worthy upgrade for 1080p and not have any bottlenecks?
Thanks!

Definitely not. The better option is to buy another GTX 770 and set them up in SLI. However, your PSU will be hard pressed to handle the stress load. The PSU that you have is okay, but it's built with poor capacitors.

The new Maxwell based Nvidia cards should be out before Christmas, I'd stay put and see what they bring to the table before making any purchases, after all, a GTX770 should be more than capable of playing even the most uber demanding of games on a single 1080 display so I'm guessing you're in no great need of an upgrade yet. ;)

Off topic ways for me to spend your money:
Maybe look into a better (quieter) CPU cooler, the Hyper 212 Evo is a great value part but there's far better out there.
Dropping some really quiet fans into the enclosure along with a controller to keep the noise down even further might be good.
Look closely at your monitor, you don't give its details in your link but maybe it could be improved? What about moving up to 1440 res? Or maybe a 3D/120Hz display might give a faster card the chance to strut its stuff more effectively.
