If I were you I would go for an Intel processor instead. It's well worth the money, trust me. Go for the 4670K or the 4770K. Oh, and don't forget to grab that 7950.

Personally, I'd keep that 7790 ticking over until the next gen of GPUs are released. You should see some improvements from the CPU update as your old Athlon was probably bottlenecking your performance on some games.

Either that or splurge on a better GPU like a 280 or 290.

Next generation GPU's aren't gonna be released until 2015 I think. Building identical processors on a 20nm wafer is slightly more expensive than doing it on a 28nm wafer so there's no incentive to release new products when there isn't going to an improvement on the performance per price front. 

I thought AMD were revamping the architecture for the next batch of chips?

The way I see it, the 7870 isn't much of a jump over the 7790, at least not for the extra cash he'll need to put down. Personally, I'd go for a better GPU to make the upgrade worthwhile.
