Is this choice because of the price. The 3970k can turbo to 4.0.

I would look into the Corsair Line of Water Coolers. These range between $80 and $120. Sealed units and no liquid to deal with. I have 2 80's running for a year now.

Motherboard: (3-Way SLI/CrossFireX Support) ASUS P9X79 LE Intel X79 Chipset Quad Channel DDR3 ATX w/ Remote GO!, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 3 Gen3 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 1 PCI

Memory: 16GB (4GBx4) DDR3/2133MHz Quad Channel Memory (Corsair Vengeance)

Why do you need 2133mhz ram? Really? Get 1600mhz and more of it instead.

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB 16X PCIe Video Card (MSI Twin Frozr II 750 Mhz Powered by NVIDIA)
I have a GTX 570 and really like it. You would be better served with a new system to go GTX 670 or even better GTX 680.

Power Supply Upgrade: 800 Watts - Standard 80 Plus Certified Power Supply - SLI/CrossFireX Ready
This would be the lowest wattage power supply to go with. I didn't see a brand. I have Corsair, Thermaltake. PC Power and Cooling make some very nice units.

Hard Drive: 240 GB OCZ Agility 3 SATA-III 6.0Gb/s SSD - 525MB/s Read & 500MB/s Write (Single Drive)
I had the 120gb OCZ Vertex 4. When I built a system for a friend of mine, I put it in there. Didn't care for it that much.
I have Intels. These are rock solid and have a 5 year warranty. Now Samsung has the 840 Pro with a 5 year warranty and it is something to consider as well.

Data Hard Drive: 2TB (2TBx1) SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 64MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive)

One thing you should ask yourself is if you are going to be exporting H.264 for BD or files. If this is going to be the bulk of your work, a Z77 system might be more suited for you because of Quicksync(Hardware encoding for H.264).
If your main export is MPEG2 HD, the X79 will be fine. The 3970k would then be your best choice for processor.

My gut feeling is that H.256 will be (forced through) as the new standard soon as it is already approved & planned for the next games in 2014 Japan with 4k broadcast (and 8k testing is in full swing)

1) Can H.265 also make use of quick-sync of needs it a "new" hardware coding system ?
2) Can H.265 be used for smaller resolutions like 2K, Blu-Ray or even DVD ?

Intel will have to adapt to the new codec. It could roll out with the Haswell chips if all is settled by then.
An option for using H.264 or H.265 would be nice. Until authoring apps adjust for h.265 acceptance of those
encoded files as compliant that might be an issue. It could take an extra version cycle to attain.

H.265 is good for the whole spectrum offormats. It is designed to reduce load on
mobile, 4k, and 3d.
