I am about to build a new gaming pc, which I will also use for some 3d modelling and rendering, could you please comment and give advice on these parts I am thinking of buying:
CPU - Intel i7 2600K
GPU - XFX Radeon HD 6970 2GB
RAM - 8 GB - G.Skill Ripjaw
HDD - 2TB Seagate Barracuda Green
PSU - Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold 800W Modular Powersupply
Case - HAF X
Motherboard - Undecided, but Z68 chipset, any recommendations?
I look forward to comments

motherboards - take a look at the asus rog gaming boards. Also consider an nvidia over an a ati as i would reccomend nvidia for various reasons. Performance quality compatibility etc.
Also the 2tb drive is goof for storage but you probably want something small and faster for os, ssd or at the very least a 10 -15k drive

GPU is a specific part on a graphics card. Like the memory, fan, etc. But the build is great!

Um, that is very good actually. Usually people have no clue and don't even know what to look for when it comes to building a PC but you have it all figured out.
As somebody mentioned above about a NVIDIA graphics card, I for one love the Radeon series and I use it still. If I couldn't get my hands on a Radeon though I would definitely get a NVIDIA one.
But that's my opinion of course xD Also I would recommend a...
Motherboard from Newegg if you're in the U.S.A.

ALSO a SSD from Newegg

I recommend 120gig as this would be more for your OS and maybe personal files. I don't think you will a 250gig
