Would it be a bad idea if I used a bit of a worse graphic card and bumped up to i7?
The i5 is plenty powerful. No reason to upgrade to an i7 given what you've told us you'd use it for.

If you order from newegg, you'll get everything within a few days. If anything, they are amazing with shipping.
There's a few things i see if you want to drop the price a bit.
First off, how patient are you? Honestly, you could probably drop that ssd that you have there and still have pretty decent load times. With the cpu and the gpu that you have, the load time difference would only be.. a few seconds.
Secondly, the graphics card. the 670 is currently the top benching card out there( i believe) Beating out even the 680 and 690 in benchmarks, though the 690 has very few on some lists i've seen so, i doubt that's correct. but. If you wanted to drop say.. 130$ off your price you could settle for a GTX 570, which is still a beast of a card and can run pretty much everything you stated earlier on max with NO issues at all. Especially with the cpu you have.
Just those two would drop roughly 230$ on the price with not much impact. If you'd like the best of the best you can certainly do as you have, just my 2 cents.
Okay, thanks! But do you suggest anything else? Like upgrading/downgrading? I am not sure on my mobo and graphics card still, I am using the GTX 670 Superclocked as my graphics card as of right now.
