They work together fine, I suppose.
The 650 is not that great of a card, I would go with (at a minimum) a radeon 7850 which is still fairly cheap and will have much greater performance than the 650.
Though I'm a bit confused what you're asking that's my 2 cents

Im asking wether or not they will bottleneck pretty much. This is my build atm http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Bl8N and i need to bump that price down to under $930 so i was gonna ask that after someone answered that question. What do you think about that build though? What can I do to lower the price. Its going to be a gaming system too, so if that helps, there you go. I also plan on overclocking.

Basically for gaming as of now, the i5 3570k is the best cpu you can get, your not going to see any form of boost at that point.
There will almost always be some sort of graphical bottleneck as games get more and more based on GPU hardware instead of CPU.
Also the GPU is a 560 not a 650, the 560 will slighty (correct me if im wrong) out perform the 650
sorry for the confusion). It's a reliable card you should be running medium in most games.

You don't need (and i dont think your motherboard supports the 1866mhz memory) you can stick with 1333mhz, and get similar performance within a percentage point, that will save you a bit.
Unless you plan on over clocking: first you can get an i5 3470, then get a non z77 board, and get rid of the 3d party cooler. This will save you a bit, but if you plan on overclocking then you will see a bit more performance per dollar.
Your PSU doesn't need to have that much power a 500w would work fine, though there may be nothing at that price point cheaper.
Unless you know you will be using CDs or DVDs you don't need a disc drive anymore even thing is all in the cloud download now.

Get a better gpu, like the 7850, it offers two games, bioshock infinite and tomb raider(i know it's marketing, but still it's a good offer).
