Greetings, I'm new here and this would be my 1st thread ive posted today.
I am currently working on a new rig, though this would be the 1st time i would be building on my own. (The last machine i had built was back in 06' when i was a kid and had help, so i knew nothing at the time). However I'm still a bit naive about what parts i need and the specification i should worry about.
Approximate Purchase Date: Unknown (I started the purchase back in september of 2012, until a financial backlash causing me to stop and continue in march of this year) but the date i will start purchasing is by the end of this month (may)
Budget Range: $1000-1200 (May increase if i can return the CPU(doubt it) and PSU)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: 3D rendering, Gaming, Other
Are you buying a monitor: Maybe (I may use a tv monitor through an HDMI hook up, if this is advised against, let me know)
Parts to Upgrade: All (New Build) (except for the case)
Do you need to buy OS: No ( will be using a copy of Windows 7 a friend of mine has left over )
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, TigerDirect/Compusa/Bestbuy, Amazon.
Location: Chicago, IL, USA
Parts Preferences: Intel, ASUS, EVGA, Corsair, G.Skill(Memory wise)
Overclocking: Maybe (though i'm not sure it would be worth it)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe in the future
Your Monitor Resolution: Unknown
Additional Comments: I was zealous when i began purchasing parts and bought a CPU (Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz) before i was fully ready to purchase all at once, not knowing its being discontinued.

And also a CORSAIR HX Series HX750 750W PSU (I felt confident, but im not sure if 750 was enough or if the components were efficient)

I currently have a case that is the only part i'm rather content with (Antec Eleven Hundred)

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Ive been away from the PC gaming world for a long time, and seeing as its looking much prettier now a days i'd like to return. That and i'm dabbling in the world 3D modeling and animation (and i'm not real keen on buying a MAC just for the 3D rendering alone)
