RAM? Id get 16 min or 32 GB depending on what you are doing.

For strictly gaming, the 680 4GB and the i7 3930k are overkill. A 670 2GB and i7 3770k are fine.

Rendering and 3d models Id look at the programs you are using. A radeon 79xx series will eat the 680 for breakfast on anything that involves double precision compute, check for this. Does what you are doing support cuda?

Really, what will you be doing with this computer, if its casual then perhaps its better to save money with the i7 3770k, if you will be making money that its better to get the 3930k.

The 3930 will have slightly less than 50% more power than the 3770k but only on the aps that can support twelve threads.
