First, the reason I'm going for the 2500k instead of the newer 3570k is that it is $139.99 at MicroCenter and so I saved $50. Secondly, I traded a Radeon 7870 with a OCZ Synapse Cache for a PowerColor 7970 for $309.99. 

 

Total after taxes, shipping, and handling is around $1,219.19

 

Are these all good moves?

Yes these were very wise choices as the 2500k is only slightly less performance than a 3570k.

The video card was also a very good upgrade.

It is a SOLID rig! \m/

Good choices, I have the same keyboard and HDD. The choice of saving money was a good choice as the 3570K isn't that much better than the 2500K. So overall good build.
