I personally think it is just right
Where did you get it from ?

A 2600K cannot OC on an H67 board...you need P67 or Z68 for that. Furthermore, the 3770K is now available, and this is the current flagship. Reasons to buy the 2600K is if you're overvolting, where the i7 3770K is much hotter (by around 20C). But you lose PCI-E 3.0 which is supported by getting the 3770K.
The GTX560Ti is an older midrange card...you could do better with AMD's offerings now or the GeForce GTX660Ti that is coming soon.

@Yasamoka dont forget to consider the budget he is paying. he asked if those 1000 USD are worth what he got. And in my opinion, it is more then enough to run 99% of games with mid to high graphics
yasamoka
A GTX260 can still run all games with mid to high graphics; this is not the problem:
The 560Ti is old now...the 7850 can be had for a similar price (but now it'a N/A @pcandparts)
The 7850 already matches / beats the GTX560Ti at stock...it can be overclocked from 860MHz to 1200MHz, and sometimes 1300MHz, making it close to a stock 7950, meaning it beats the pants off the GTX560Ti. The GTX560Ti cannot be clocked as high. The GTX460 overclocks better, and comes close to the GTX560Ti, even when OCed.
This is why I don't think it's worth the $1000. For somebody who is on a budget, whatever the budget is, surely savings can be made. Getting a K series CPU that OCs with a motherboard that doesn't OC, how is that worth his money? Get a lesser CPU like the i5 2400 then, and put that towards a graphics card. That would be a better option. Or replace your board, and raise your budget, if you really want the i7. And i5 vs i7 from same architecture and family, no difference in games. Save $100 and get a better GPU then. And replace that 560Ti.

Thank you everyone for the replys and the suggestions! I will definitaly take most into consideration, this is from a place called CMS TECHNOLOGY, its located in Koraytem - Itani Street!

Agreed with yasamoka, get a p67 or z68. Also if it's for gaming you really don't need the i7, there's ZERO difference between it and the cheaper i5 2500K. Put the price difference towards the mobo or better gpu.
Also there shouldn't be too much of a price difference between 1333 and 1600 Mhz memory, so go for the latter as it's the sweet spot.

Thank you PowerPC aswell.
