I see no problems with this build except for psu.
Because 750w is too much and you would need so much only if you add second videocard later. What you need is reliable brand psu from antec/corsair/xfx/silverstone. 550w should be enough. at least 80+ bronze quality
so, another psu will come cheaper and i'm strongly recommending to put more money into videocard (my guess is you're building gaming pc?) Radeon 7850 will be a noticeable improvemnt over 7770 for not so much money. If you still come up short, you can get cheaper motherboard of 970 chipset, because frankly, 140$ for mobo is too much. I see no benefit for usual user in getting mobo that costs more that ~ 120$

You could get much better gaming performance for that amount of money. Assuming the build is just for gaming, this would be a lot better. (And cheaper)

Intel Core i3-3220
2x4GB G.Skill Ripjaws X 1600Mhz 1.5v
ASRock B75 PRO3
Gigabyte HD 7850 2GB
500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM
Corsair CX-500 500W
Zalman Z9 Plus
LG DVD Burner

Total - $649.92

Much better gaming performance for less cash. You only really need like 350-400W+ for that build so 500W is plenty.
