Problems:

CPU too weak for GPU. It will bottleneck.
The motherboard is junk and known for overheating and catching fire.

Change to a different 970 board and a 6300 at minimum. Also get an r9 280x. This will be basically the same performance as a 770, but much cheaper.

That CPU isn't going to be enough to handle that GPU without bottlenecking (unless you overclock it quite a bit).

Check that out, still 100$ below budget so you can grab some more memory, opt for a watercooler (h100i etc), SSD.
