LGA 1155 has 1,155 pins and the newer LGA 1150 sockets have only 1,150 pins. Five less. They are not compatible. But do some research if you don't believe me.

Simple: You need to switch to a Z77 MB or switch your CPU to a Z87 chipset (LGA 1150.)

7950 should have higher performance than the 760

7970 should have performance higher than 770

770 has better drivers, lower power consumption, and is more stable.(770 is just a rebranded 680/670) 770 will make your build a bit over if that is fine with you.

EDIT:
since it seems you will be buying around december, come back within 1-2 weeks of purchase date so we can give you better deals
