Do you need an i7 for some other uses than just gaming. As an i5 3750k is all you need for gaming.
Second hand 560, if you can get one. Usually go for £100-120.
Or sell your 560 and get a 7950, unless you need Cuda for any software programs. Then get a 670.

Perfect advice, no need for an i7.
As others have said, the only advantage an i7 has over an i5 is hyper-threading, which does not benefit gaming at all.
You could always get a second card due to already having a 2GB card so memory wouldn't be as big an issue. however I had SLI 560TIs and the noise and heat lead me to buying a GTX 670.
