For CPUs long term 2500k (you could drop down to a 2400k without losing much tho) is the CPU to get at the moment, it balances power and price very well should have no problem maxing games any time soon.
GPUs are a bit harder, especially as both AMD and Nvidia are launching their new ranges right now, Nvidia only their high end cards are really out right now but the 600 series seems like a really great architecture, but the only card out right now is $500 US. On the AMD side their is more choice for their latest cards. It really depends on how much you want to spend tho, a GTX560 TI will max just about any current game at 1080p but if you don't plan to upgrade the card for 4+ years you will want a bit of headroom.
Buying a good mid-high end card and another one in 3 years is usually better value for money than buying an enthusiest card (or 2) and keeping it for 5 years.
