what's your budget like? are you gonna ebay anything you replace?

Since you have a pretty nice rig already, I recommend you wait until the game(s) you want to play come out. Then try them and see if what you have works. If they don't play well on your current hardware, then ask about upgrades.

upgrade video card

go dual gpu or wait for the next gen GPUs

even though the 2600K turbos to 3.8Ghz, upgrading from your rig would provide marginal gains

:thumbsup: This.

An OC'ed 920 is plenty of power for any game out there. A 5870 will almost certainly be enough for Diablo 3 at max and will be very decent for BF3.
