I recommend getting a better graphics card though :/ You could always overclock your CPU in the future, but the graphic card is always a pain in the ass to overclock.This is the thread that should be in the tech forum (not the other one actually in there you asked to be deleted) haha
But as far as your decision, honestly, go for a new build entirely. Don't get the i7 2600k. It's a 100$ premium for something you most likely won't benefit from if you're just gaming, and is more for video and 3d rendering where the hyperthreading from an i7 comes into play.
Instead, go for an i5 2500k, a GTX 560 Ti, a reasonable 1155 motherboard, 8gb ram (cheap as anything these days) and a few other decent parts.
It's a little overwhelming to know all the right parts, so I'd suggest a bundle such as this one:

And then buy a GTX 560 ti or amd 6870 and you're set for 1080p single monitor gaming. Should be able to play high or max for most games without troubles.
