For gaming stick with the i5K on the 1155. My buddy Idleman has done you a lovely little spec there.

I7 3770K will add hyperthreading but it's Zero use for gaming. Better off with the i5K, it's cheaper and just as good for gaming, it's on offer currently to help pay for a good value heatsink. If you are willing to pay more on the CPU you can afford more on the heatsink to get better overclocks and temps on the i5K

YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H795QC3G2M) £239.99
1 x Intel Core i7-3820 3.60GHz (Sandybridge-E) Socket LGA2011 Processor - Retail £229.99
1 x Gigabyte X79-UD3 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard £179.99
1 x Corsair Carbide 300R Mid Tower Windowed Case - Black £69.98
1 x Alpenföhn K2 Mount Doom CPU Cooler (Socket 775 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / 2011 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2) £59.99
Total : £794.04 (includes shipping : £11.75).



That's a decent 2011 spec, Ideally you want quad channel RAM which means buying another RAM kit. There are more CPUs due for this socket but it's really meant for power users/professionals. I've only done the spec to show what good value Idlemans build is ;)
 
Spec with an i7. Don't know if you want/need a SSD. Went for the Sapphire card as it's supposed to be a good o/c. I'm sure some of the 7970's were voltage locked...someone correct me if im wrong.
