You can save some money by going with the HAF 932,they are basically same except some unnecessary changes.

Save some money and go with the Core i5 2500k which is a really powerful processor and will way way more than enough for any game you throw at it.
You can checkout the benchmarks and see that in gaming they perform pretty close to each other.And also the i5 2500k also has an unlocked multiplier like the 2600k.
You can upgrade to a GTX 570 from the money which you will save from changing the processor to the 2500k which will get you better performance in gaming.
As for PSU I would get the XFX 550W Core Edition,sweet PSU and also you won't need more than 550W.

Any graphics card inside CPU still cant fight good GPU. event you using dual core CPU, if you choose good GPU like 9650, you still can play game at mid/max setting.
