Here is what I think I am going to do for a custom built gaming rig.
I don't plan on water cooling or overclocking the CPU.

I don't see the point of using LGA 2011 socket if you're not overclocking. There is not need for 32GB for gaming. 8GB will suffice. You could have spent more on the gpu rather than 660.

with this you still probably want a 770 or better so you can drop your motherboard to a 130 dollar or so asus one as the one you have picked is for extreme overclockersok so is this one better.

Ok,
Im going for at most $1,500 and the only things I am having a hard time drawing between is the motherboard, CPU, Heatsink (Not interested in Water Cool) (If the CPU comes stock with one thats fine), and GPU.
I would prefer an EVGA GPU if possible
For Motherboard I would want: Asus (High) , Gigabyte, or MSI
The heatsink IDC
Im gonna probebly do rendering mainly and gaming

What are you rendering using which software(s) with input and output formats ??
Massive CPUs are on the way out ... rendering is largely driven by OpenCL/GL via GPU acceleration these days -- CUDA is becoming more and more proprietary toward specific tasks and effects in software.
I use after effects cc and am going to be rendering gameplays recorded by my elgato into 1080p in mp4 format
I also plan on doing gaming on the build as well.

Good. I was happy with my hdd, case, optical drive etc.. on my other build but I will take the gpu and cpu to consideration as well as the mobo.
I personally like the Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 tho

My understanding is Elgato max record is H.264/MP4 at 1080i (likely 60fps). You need to set your output format in Adobe to coincide with the recording format in Elgato. This should 'pass-though' (NOT render) the original frames, significantly reducing your render times.
The only frames rendered will be those upon which you apply effects or titles. Therefore, a 4670K should work just dandy for you with little, if any, effect on your gaming FPS.
Now, the Sapphire TRI-X OC Radeon R9 290 4GB (at the same price of the GTX780) should boost your frames and run 'cool & quiet'
