I was upgrading from a 4670, so this is actually a major upgrade
I did the same thing this summer but without the expensive stuff an i7 really isn't needed for high quality gaming. Most games right now dont support 12 virtual cores so a lot of it goes to waste. I got an AMD Athlon X4 2.9Ghz and it works great along with my new Radeon HD 6850. No need to spend so much on an intel processor if you don't need it. Put the money elsewhere like a good graphics card and reputable parts.
i7 processors have 4 virtual cores and is not an overkill for current game demands. an i7 930 is the most common choice of today's gamers. I myself has an i7 950 and am overpleased with it.
As for the upgrade suggestion, i suggest you save up for a new system rather than upgrading.
