Here are some thoughts:
1) For gaming, the graphics card is the most important component. A single GTX670 or 7970 will game on a single monitor very well. From a performance point of view, it would be hard to tell the difference. Pick your favorite, AMD or Nvidia.
I happen to like Nvidia; I am more comfortable with their drivers.
2) For gaming, the 3570K is as good as it gets. But for $100 more, the 3770k has hyperthreading which will help with multi threaded tasks such as rendering. The FX-8150 with 8 threads would be good for rendering, but not so good for gaming. The cores are much slower than either intel option. Stick with either Intel option.
3) Really, any Z77 based motherboard will perform as well as another. No need for a top of the line model. They will have better voltage regulation that is needed only for record level maximum overclockers. A conservative oc to 4.3 or so does not need anything special. Pick your favorite manufacturer, they are all good.
4) A 16gb kit of 2 x 8gb DDR3 1600 ram is good. Pick low profile ram to avoid heat spreader interference. 1.5v ram actually does not need any at all.
5) A GTX670 or 7970 needs only a good 500w PSU. I would buy something in the 650w range.
My short list of quality psu's would include XFX, Seasonic, Antec, Corsair, and PC P&C.
6) A 64gb ssd is a bit small. 120gb would be better. For reliability, I suggest Samsung 830 or any intel SSD.
7) Is there some feature of windows 64 pro that you need? Home premium will suit most home users. If you later need pro, say for >16gb of ram, then you can buy the anytime upgrade.
8) Cases are a personal thing. Bust your budget for one you really lust after. You will be looking at it for a long time.
Either one you mentioned will do well. Personally, I prefer small and quiet cases.
9) I don't like the all-n one coolers. They tend to be expensive, noisy, and not as reliable as a air cooler. For a conservative OC, they really are not needed. A good air cooler will perform just as well in a decently ventilated case.
10) As a first time builder, I suggest you take the time to download and read, cover to cover the manuals for the motherboard and case.
----------good luck----------
