Advice on Rig

Hey guys! I've posted a few of my planned builds on here, but this is a new update for my personal rig. Here is a list of what it will DEFINITELY have inside and out:

 

Case: Cooler Master HAF Stacker 935

PSU: XFX XXX Pro 650W 80+

Mobo: Asrock z77-Xtreme4

CPU: Intel i5-3570k

Cooler: Corsair H80i

RAM: 8Gb Corsair XMS3 1600mhz 

HDD: WD Blue 500Gb (Storage)

SSD: Samsung 840 128Gb (Boot)

 

Here are some things that i would like some feedback on: 

GPU: I currently have a GTX 480 and i need something new under or around $300 and does well with gaming, low end video editing, number crunching, light CAD and CAE abilities, university student appropriate capabilities (i am a single screen 1080p gamer) 

Fans: Red LED fans that aren't too bright and goofy looking but work well and look great preferably 120mm

Other: What do you guys think would be neat to see in this build?!? I will be switching the order of the stackable cases (small one on bottom) when i get the Stacker and so far my theme is black and red.

Grab a 7950/7970/280x and some CM Sickleflows or Jetflos.
