Then I highly recommend an i5 and a current generation GPU.

This is a very good cost/power ratio that's about 100$ less than the i7, giving you a great deal more wiggle room for your GPU budget.Â
Also, your PSU is a little excessive as well unless you plan to eventually upgrade to an SLI configuration.
This is one of the best resources available for planning new PC builds, especially for those that are less tech savvy:Â http://www.logicalincrements.com/
Edit: I just noticed your addendum about wanting to be a little overkill. Even considering that I still recommend spending as much as you can on the GPU. CPUs suffer greatly from diminishing returns after the $220 price point.
