complete overhaul or GTX590

[Bubbahj]

Hello, My current rig consists of a p5n32e sli plus socket 775 MB, Q9400 CPU @2.6, 4 Gb ddr2, SSD hard drive, 2 GTX 260 running in SLI, 550 watt PS, and a run down case. I was thinking of upgrading everything I can afford and keeping my 2 x 260's to keep the cost down. I am looking at a Core i7 2600k cpu, water cooling, unsure on MB, 8 Gb ddr3, 1200 watt PS, or should I just get a new PS for current set up, and get a newer graphics card? most likely a GTX 590, but would there be a considerable bottle neck with my cpu or memory bandwidth

I think the 2500K and possibly GTX570 adding another one later, skip the water cooling and a quality 850watt PSU would be my approach to a gaming rig.
