I am not sure which card will fill my needs, the 192 bits on the nvidia card makes me think that it will be a CON vs the gygabyte OC card. Also i had ALWAYS been a Nvidia user. I am upgrading from a geforce 465, which i can use as dedicated physx. Which card should i get?

ati is at $310 and nvidia $410. Usually i play games at 1366*768 on my LG lcd "32 screen. But i have been playing on this because i know that my actual card will not be smooth on my full HD samsung monitor which can be used in 1920 x 1080. I can pay the extra $ 100 as long i know it's worthy

i am playing warframe, league of legends, re6, world of warcraft. The game that is giving me the lowest FPS is warframe, that little game is very GPU demanding. I have a core i7 390 OC@ 3.8 with 6 gigs ddr3 6-6-6-18

It's very hard to find an accurate comparison, but as you can see the overall edge goes to the GTX 660. Whether that slight edge is worth the $100 extra is entirely upto you. Personally I'd get the HD 7850, especially considering the resolution you play at will not show much of a difference between these 2 cards
 
not sure how well that oced 7850 fare against 660 but stock vs stock 660 generally sits between 7870 and 7850. from price you mention above certainly the price of 660 will not worth the extra cost compared to the performance advantage it has to 7850. but some of the game you listed above are more nvidia friendly like warframe and wow. re6 also nvidia title though i do not know if the game heavily favoring nvidia cards. in warframe the gpu physics option will only available with nvidia cards
