Finally, what CPU should I get, on the not so expensive side of the available i7 ones? 

Don't get an i7. Get an overclockable i5, because an i7's hyper-threading really isn't going to help much with the overwhelming majority of games, but a higher clock-rate will, especially if you become interested in emulation. 

The newest overclockable i5 is about $220-240, while the cheapest i7 (non-overclockable) is $290.

Thanks for that. I'll take a look at it
