Well I am building a new gaming/rendering PC can you rate it from 0 to 100 and tell me specs that can improve the speed.

Also I am in a dilemma on which motherboard I should choose. The Maximus V Z77 or the Sabertooth Z77 your thoughts on
which one would be better for rendering and gaming?

I am also not going to list the motherboard since I don't know which one to choose. I am not going to put the CPU either
because I am waiting for Ivy Bridge.

So here are the specs:

HDD : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136768

PSU : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182063

RAM : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231510

CPU Cooler : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835181017

I've been reading a lot in this forums.
I could say that WD brand, are good for HDD, but people here recommend having a SDD for win, and programs you'll use most and the brand that always mention here is Intel. (haven't test it)
I recently made my rig but with AMD, if your going for Intel, i don't know much.
For Ram, people here recommends G.Kill, too; so i think your good with that.
For the PSU, even if i love the lights =D, i can't recommend that, i think it has less options than Corsair brand(but it's just my opinion), you can find reviews all over the web for the PSU, and find which brand is better for performance/price.
For the CPU Cooler, i'll buy Corsair in the future; which is a brand that i see most use and give good results, so i think your good with that but first look for reviews or videos. I think you need a case that work with that:
"The top-of-the-line H100 uses a dual 120mm radiator for even better performance, and is compatible with PC cases that provide mounting capability for a standard 240mm radiator"
And for the case itself, i can't say anything, that goes hand to hand with the motherboard mostly.

I would not buy the Rosewill PSU. What kind of graphics setup are you going for - this defines how much power you need. For anything less than quad-SLI or quad-Crossfire 1300W is complete overkill.

WD are a solid HDD brand but no SSD? Consider even one for caching which is available on all Z77 boards.
