Here's my situation, I'm still some what inexperienced in building PCs. Built my current one back in 2008 and really have only added a newer GPU (back then) and some RAM. I'm looking into getting into possibly overclocking but really just wanting to be able to upgrade my current build into a nice gaming rig.

Current build
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
AMD Radeon HD 6850
11.5 GB of RAM maybe 1333 MHz don't remember
Corsair HX Professional Series 850-Watt 80 Plus
Mobo is a ASUS P6T (Has PCI 2.0 and supports up to DRR3)

Right now, I know I need to upgrade my GPU, looking at EVGA GeForce GTX770 SuperClocked. But what else is a priority asides my GPU? The i7 is ok I guess but the 2.67GHz doesn't seem like enough for some reason. Again still inexperienced so just looking for advice.

EDIT: BTW budget right now is roughly $500-$600, but not looking to spend it all on the GPU alone. I am upgrading my case as well to a Rosewill Gaming ATX Full Tower and if I get into OC then a Corsair Hydro Liquid CPU Cooler H100i as well.
 
Solution
oh, you must've edited it after, but it's not overkill, liquid cooling is made for high OC so if that's what you're going to do then that system is a great liquid cooler.

Ok, cool. You suggest the hyper212, is the Corsair just overkill at this point?
