The i7 3770 will not bottleneck those CPUs. I am using one with a GTX980 and getting great results.
3 RAM is fine. In that generation, the dual channel works when it can (lower part of RAM) and will be fine.

The 960 is a little faster - but probably not worth the extra money. Get a 1060 or 1050Ti if you can afford it, 1050 otherwise.
The GTX 1050 would be the better choice here but if you can, then save up a little but more and get a GTX 1050TI 4GB as 2GB of vram is really not enough anymore for modern gaming.
Also having 3 Ram sticks are not really ideal as they are then not running in dual channel mode.

I recommend the 1050TI 4GB If you can afford it as it's not much more than the 1050 and will provide a noticeable higher framerate in game. Look at a GTX970 As those are starting to come down in price now
