Here is a more sane suggestion, buy a hyper 212 evo and oc your cpu to at least 4.0ghz. It really wont cause any problems at that point. Then buy an 8320 when they come out and transfer your 212 evo to that and oc it as well. All you will need to do is a bios update to get the 8320 to work so you wont have to change your motherboard.

As for the gpu question. If you want to overclock your gpu, get a 7970. If you don't then get a factory overclocked 670.
