This would be a much better choice for the idea of playing all games at max settings with more than enough playable FPS. You really don't need the i7-3770K, settle for the i5-3570K, if you can find one on eBay with similar specifications. The only thing to watch in those is the Power Supplies, lots of the time they end up being lower end power supplies and may die later on.

The difference between i5-3750k and the i7 version of it is pretty much not noticeable in games

Yeah, I would of went for an i5 but they only had PC's with the GTX670 if it had an i7. If I choose to build it then It'll be with an i5

Thanks for the feedback

If you plan on building one, switch out the motherboard for one of these:

Drop down to 8 GB of RAM preferably G-Skill and Corsair; pretty good overall reviews and good reliability.

Settle for a OCZ ModXStream, if you plan on keeping it with one GPU. This is a good option:

The GTX 670 will run just about anything you need for it. If you want GTX 680 performance, then just buy the GTX 670 and do about a 5%-10% overclock.

Keep the i5-3570K, only difference noticed between the i7 and i5 is in multi-threaded environments (rendering, video editing, etc.).

In total, you save around: $210

This money easily able to go for a case with better airflow, a solid state drive for load times/game load times or an aftermarket heatsink.
