This leaves you 135€ which you'd ideally put towards buying a GTX 660 when it's released later this month or possibly September. Or get a 7950 if you can't wait.
I'd definitely go for an Ivy Bridge CPU so you can enjoy PCIe 3.0 if you upgrade the graphics card later on, it doesn't really matter now but will with feature GPU generations.
And don't go for a graphics card with less than 2gb of RAM.

I`m fine with my gtx 560ti 2gb, but this is th next that`ll be changed. I wanted to go sli, but decided to go for a bigger single card, after i heard that they`ll stop producing the 5xx serial soon and the prices of the 5xx didn`t dropped that much...
