One thing I should point out is that unless you plan on doing some very CPU intensive, like video editing or 3D animation (I.E, nothing that current gaming is going to ask your CPU to do), you can save some money and just get an i5 2500K. I don't know what the price difference for you will be, but you can probably pop that money into a bigger HDD or SSD or more memory or a pair of GPUs for SLI/Crossfire (I highly suggest the nVidia 560 TIs for SLI) or something else, or just save it entierly.
Unless you're like my Dad and just want an i7 for the sake of having an i7 which is fair enough!
Also, make sure you get 1600 RAM. Anything more isn't needed, and anything less isn't as much bang-for buck, typically.
