Intel Core i5-3470 advantages
The microprocessor has F16C instructions enabled. While these extensions are not widely used in programs yet, their support should improve in future applications.
Power consumption of this processor is better.
Drawbacks:
A bit lower overall performance
Intel Core i7-2600 advantages
The Intel i7-2600 is 2% faster in single-threaded programs.
Multi-threaded performance of the CPU is higher.
In memory-intensive applications, the processor is 15% faster.
Drawbacks:
Does not support some instructions and requires more power

Sorry mate... to get PCIe 3.0 working, chipset must support it and the cpu. PCI-e lane must be 3.0 and the CPU must be Ivy Bridge (not Sandy Bridge) because Ivy Bridge cpu has built in pcie 3.0 controller inside the processor. Without Ivy Bridge processor, it will run at pcie 2.0 only.

PCIE 3 has a technical advantage PCIE 2. But games simply don't use the bandwidth, so it doesn't really matter in your case.

Nos, there's a difference in *compute* tasks, which is a different matter, and only on GPUs that can really make use of the additional bandwidth, which the 270x can't. But in gaming, there's no real-world value to PCIE 3 vs. 2. Now, there are other reasons to take an Ivy Bridge over a Sandy Bridge (and a Haswell over an Ivy Bridge), but unless you have very specific workloads and high-end GPUs, this isn't one of them.
