All looks good other than upgrading a 670 to a 770 would be a massive waste of time.  Why do you even need to upgrade a 670? its still a very good card.

CPU: i7 3770k@ 4.6Ghz@ 1.23v - GPU: Palit GTX 660ti - MOBO: Asrock Extreme 4 - RAM: Corsair vengeance 8GB 1600Mhz - PSU: OCZ 650watt - STORAGE: 128Gb corsair force GT SSD/ 1TB seagate barracuda 7200rpm

                                                                                         COOLING: NH-U14s/ 3x Noiseblocker blacksilent pros/ Silverstone Air Penetrator/ 2 corsair AF120s

I would wait another generation to upgrade that graphics card and CPU. The performance benefit is not that great.

 

Honestly, I would get an SSD. That would be the best use of your money. Something like a Crucial MX100 256GB drive would be great.

Then take a look at the 8xxx details & pricing are announced.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
