Okay well lets compare and look at where you will bottleneck.
First I would change the Case to a Corsair 500R. Better Cooling IMO and it saves you $30.
MOBO is fine. Mid range nothing special.
For a cooler as Ivy tends to run hot I would look at possibly upgrading the cooling to...
Your asking about 2 different chipsets. the X79 is a LGA2011 and the Z77 is LGA1155. That would be your first issue. Comparing a pure enthusiast cpu/mobo combo vs a pretty middle of the road mobo/cpu (Z77). You'll pay a premium on the X79 and if you aren't going to use the quad channel memory or...
Sounds like your real problem isn't the computer heat but the ambient heat + the addition of heat from the computer that isn't helping. These should help a lot!. I think that will solve your issues faster than any component upgrade. :thumbsup:

Found that I really like this case a lot and with my power supply and gtx 570...
