Going from information posted on this board, I'd say GTX 570+i5 2500k is better for gaming purposes.

Do you really not know anything about how businesses run? What, do you think Blizz is ran by 30 people - 15 of them are working on WoW, 10 of them on SC2, 4 on Diablo, and a retarded donkey worked on this app for a few months? Do you also think that hamsters power their servers and when they get tired, all the servers crash?

Definitely 2500k + 570.

not rly cus for gaming purpose i5 and 570 is better if it's more for video editing and such together with gaming the i7 and 560ti can be better if 560ti is enough for his needs.

For gaming go with the i5 2500K and the GTX570 it is a better balance of CPU/GPU than the i7 2600K / GTX 560 at that point. Majority of games these days can not take advantage of the hyperthreading that the i7 2600K offers. Due to this the i5 and the i7 perform equivalently in majority of games.
Also if there is a Micro Center in your town the i5 2500K is on sale for $149.99.

The GPU will be the bottleneck in BF3 on higher resolutions and with the eye candy on, you'd score better overall performance with the 2500K and a 570 than with an i7 and a 560Ti. No idea about D3 since there are no benchmarks out there that includes that game (for obvious reasons). What BF3 has is a recent predecessor at least, BF:BC2 at 1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF a standard clock i5 2500k performs exactly as well as a i7 2600k @ 4,9Ghz with a GTX 580 (-> link to diagram <-, -> link to the benchmark in swedish <-). -> This <- review by guru3d reports the same thing, even with inferior gaming CPU's scoring as "high" as these thanks to the GPU bottleneck.

There are also benchmarks out there that shows a slightly OC'ed 560Ti performs on the same level as the 570. If that's an option, go for the 560Ti and the i5 2500k, and save the left overs for the next upgrade. Not to mention, the 560Ti performs very well for its wattage, something I personally value a lot.
TL;DR
i5 + 570
