I need a computer for 3d rendering and slight gaming and ive been researching alot and reading up and watching tutorials. I was hoping to keep it around $1000, note that this is going to be my first build and i need advice on options based past series of chipsets and so on.

cpu: I7 3770k Ivy Bridge $332

mobo: Gigabyte z77-ud5 $200-$235? (or ud4)

gpu: Kepler based video card around $270?

cpu cooler: Phanteks PH-TC14PE $90 or Corsair H100 (if i get the Carbide 500r) $120

ram: 8gb ddr3 1600mhz $50

optical drive: DVD drive $20

psu: Corsair tx 750 $100 [bought]

case: NZXT Gamma $35 [bought] (will probably upgrade to the Corsair Carbide 500r in white)

monitor: Two acer 21.5in monitors [already own]

Mouse keyboard and OS already own.

It's approx. $997 without tax and shipping. and with the h100 and 500r approx. $1147

If anything you know of that is going to be released in the april-may that would be usefull to me please inform me and critique my build. Thank You.
