Err even previous gen Sandy is never gonna be a bottleneck for the highest end GPU/s now and in the future i imagine so LGA 1155 for a gaming rig all the way for me ^^

Yea i5-3570k/i7-3770k is enough.
So save some $ get the non-oc version of hd 7970
Cheaper mainboard will do the job...
500w for singel gpu is enough, 750w is plenty for crossfire

look man in case you use the system mostly for rendering go for the 3930k but for gaming 3570k is very enough!in case you do some demanding rendering playing games and you dont want to spend so much money(still a lot)go for the 3770k as its very powerful!
also i prefer the gtx 680 it offers many advantages on rendering and it produces lots of power for gaming!
