For a gaming PC get the i5 2500K/2550K over the i7. Games can not make use of Hyperthreading so you will save $100 here.

16GB of RAM is much cheaper if you get 4 x 4GB. Save $50 here.

Here is a 500GB data drive. Save $50 here.

Invest the saved $200 in a good SSD.

Much faster, more responsive system for the same price.

Oh yeah if you plan on adding a second GTX 560 Ti in Sli then keep that power supply. If you only plan on running a single card then save even more by dropping to a ~500-550w PSU.
