I'd start with the 3570K, could go the 4670K slightly newer, also a little more expensive, and would suggest saving as much as can towards the GPU, add ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 mobo (maybe best GP Gaming mobo out there, Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler, 8 GB Gskill 1866/CL9 Sniper DRAM, prob about a 600 Seasonic PSU unless going or thinking SLI/XFire

Would agree go with a i5 3570K. The difference in performance between a i5 3570K and a i5 4670K is so little it all really comes down to price. The real difference is the better igpu built into the i5 4670K so if you are using a dedicated GPU get the cheaper i5 3570K and a good GPU.

I generally recommend Seasonic PSU above all other brand name, but if you are working with a budget, then consider a Corsair PSU instead since they generally go on sale more often than Seasonic PSU and they may have a mail-in rebate. Corsair PSUs are manufactured by either Seasonic or Channelwell Tech (CWT) depending on the specific model. CWT's overall quality is pretty good though.
