i7 will not aid you in gaming at all. If you wanted to you could upgrade the motherboard and CPU to the next gen stuff, but that really isn't needed as the 3rd gen stuff will last for a bit longer.

i7 is pointless for gaming. The 3570k with a good GPU is still good enough to play all the latest games.

If you're going to downgrade to 8 gb, go with dual channel. Dual channel is a tad faster than single channel memory.

If you have no plans on ever overclocking that CPU get the 3570 (no K) you should save a little bit more money there also

The new R cards are optimized for BF4 so that is my best bet.

As for the decision of either gpu, just check out this link. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . The biggest decision between Nvidia and AMD is advanced Physx on the Nividia chip that separates them apart from AMD. AMD also has the mantle chip included in their gpus, I won't go into detail but there is going to be games in the future optimized for Mantle. But for my recommendation, I would go with a GTX 770 as it's a bit more stronger performer than a R9 280x. The free games is also an added bonus as well.
