Grab a 4690K and a GTX 770 or R9 280x that will be enough for a few years at least. also get the Gaming 5 instead as it's a cheaper board with all the right features.

R9 290x or a 780 but if you can hold off i hear the Nvida GTX 800 series is coming out so prices will drop.

Most rendering/modeling programs support GPU acceleration eiter Cuda(nvidia) or OpenCL(AMD)so it's all about what software are you going to work with?...also for rendering and work related tasks the i7-4790K is a better CPU...i also am with the guy who said the gaming 5 is the sweet spot as it packs all you might want and it's cheaper..but just as nice.

Also for your GPu you should look at either a GTX 780 or Radeon R9 290...i doubt you would be impressed by the 770 or the R9 280X as both are basicaly rebrands of last generation technologies (GTX 680 and Radeon HD7970)...the new gen cards (780 and R9 290) are quite a huge step forward and are worth the price tag.
