If you are going to go AMD, wait for Bulldozer! Should be launching within the next month. If you must buy now, Intel will be better for gaming as games tend not to use more than four threads. I have no idea how BD will compare to SB but almost certainly it will be priced competitively. Rumoured pricing has the top BD slightly higher than the 2600K.
Khuutra, your choices look fine. The 2500k will be good enough for all games you could want to play for a few years. The importance of CPU varies by game but graphics is still usually more important and Sandy Bridge is fast enough for anything.
Have a look at the HD6950 which is in the region of the 560Ti. They're pretty evenly matched.
