Both perform virtually the same within a 1-5% of each other give or take. So whatever you find the best deal on I suggest going for.

No point. You will see no performance upgrade at all. If you really want to upgrade something maybe buy a better CPU.

Nope your board supports mostly everything!

The 3570 should work fine

I would stay with the 660Ti and then use the money that you were going to use to buy the 7950 on as you say an SSD and the games you want.

Make sure you update the BIOS before swapping out the CPU.

the benchmark of the 2 cards are similar. as I know, NV can have better performance in BF3.
I would pick gigabyte gtx 660 ti oc one..

if it doesnt cost you any additional money and brings you some free games on the way i would do it too.
