I'm also going the 3570-K + 670 route. It seems to be the popular build at the moment. I hear ya when you say the new build isn't just for PS2. If/when I build my new rig it will be a huge update for me for everything (Editing software, gaming, etc).
PS2 is definitely the kicker to get people going on upgrading/buying. I bet most people are saying "well I really need to upgrade for my graphic design work and it just so happens that PS2 is right around the corner... might as well upgrade now!"
