For graphic card look for hd7950.Sapphire vapor x hd7950 is around 21-22k.HD7950 is significantly faster than gtx660ti.

For PSU look for Seasonic s12ii 520w@4k or corsair gs600@4.4k.

@OP - BTW.. have you already purchased Asrock Z77 Extreme4 ? One of my friends have had trouble with ASRock Extreme4 mobo and had a horrifying experience with RMA. Since it happened with my friend I couldn't post about it in RMA experience thread.
I personally have used Extreme6 mbo for some time and found its build quality not as good as offerings from Gigabyte and MSI.
If you have not purchased Extreme4 yet then please have a look at MSI GA45 board and if you could increase the budget a bit then also consider MSI GD65. or else just forget about what I said :), in good faith.

And ohh.. related to PSU dont go for Seasonic as its RMA might be affected due to availability issues. Corsair PSUs are the best ones. Go for GS600 which VKL suggested.
