If it's gaming, you're doing it wrong. Spend less on the processor and RAM and spend more on the GPU. I wouldn't be able to put together a better rig unless you told me what the maximum you're willing to spend is.

Oh don't bother with Cyberpower - some of the horror stories I've heard from people on this site is enough to know they're a company you do not want to do business with. Build your own - it will be better in the long run.
I would do something like this for $1200:

Awesome build all the way around. I picked the Core i5 3570K over the 4570K because it can overclock a bit better and the improved IPC on the 4570K just isn't enough to make up for the lower overclocking potential. Also I chose the HD 7970 because it's just simply a steal at under $300. It's an amazing card for that price. Also you get your choice of 3 free games. That makes the deal even sweeter with the HD 7970.

Overclock both to the max and they are about the same. Price wise the 770 is 399.99 and the 7970 can be found for less than $300. Stock vs stock speeds there is about a 12% difference in favor of the GTX 770 but overclocking makes up for that and also there is a 25% difference in price. Another thing to consider is advanced Physx which you can't get with an AMD card. Physx can make a pretty good difference in some games such as Borderlands 2 and Batman Arkham City. There are some other games but those came to mind first. Also the HD 7970 comes with 3 free games whereas I believe the GTX 770 only comes with Splinter Cell blacklist.

Benchmarks with the HD 7970 and GTX 770 included. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-770-gk104-review,3519-4.html
This is the GHz edition 7970 but the difference between the HD 7970 and the GHz edition are about the same as the difference from the GTX 680 to the GTX 770. Higher clock speeds and not much else is different. The one I suggested is factory clocked at GHz edition levels out of the box except for the memory clock... So these numbers should be about right.

The case is very nice but the power supply I can't say for sure because you only said 800 watt power supply. If you could show me which one it is then I could tell you if it's a good one or not. Usually 800 watt power supplies are good but certain brands are pretty unreliable. Coolermaster, A-Power, OCZ, and Thermaltake are iffy brands. The worst being A-Power of course none of them are as bad as A-Power. Corsair, Seasonic, Antec, Enermax,and XFX are examples of good brands. I would like to say that Corsair is probably the best but I'm not totally sure.
