Maybe you should get the i3-2100 paired with a more power graphics card. That way you save more money but get higher fps in game because most games are heavier on the graphics card than the cpu.
HD6850, HD 6870, gtx 460/560?
But of course then you cant overclock the i3 and the cooler becomes pointless.

I agree, I wouldn't use the 2500K for a sub-$800 machine, and the 6790 is becoming pretty much a moot point anymore.
Try this build:

CPU: 3.1GHz Intel Core i5-2400 - $189.99
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Silverline 1333Mhz 8GB (2 x 4GB) - $42.99
HD: 500GB Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB - $84.99
Optical: Lite On Bulk DVD Burner - $17.99
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 = $169.99 ($10.00 MIR)
Total: $785.92 - $30.00 MIR = $750.92
