I read in the magazine Maximum PC that the Haswell-E has 45% more performance than the Haswell and Ivy-Bridge.

For gaming, would it be worth upgrading my Core i7 3770K to a 5770K or 5960X?

No, 45% more performance for stuff that are capable of using so many cores. But games are barely starting to use 4 cores, so 6 is still a very very long way off.

When comparing quad core gaming performance, clock for clock, how much faster is the Haswell-E compared to the Haswell and Ivy Bridge?

Is it necessary to have an enthusiast X99 motherboard/Haswell-E CPU and PCIe 3.0 x16 slots to run the latest top-tier GPU's from AMD and Nvidia without bottlenecking due to PCI bus bandwidth limitations?

Since Ivy, every Z-series platform has PCI-e 3.0 anyway.

Clock for clock Hasswell-E is less than 5 percent faster in GAMING, the only benefit it has is more CACHE, which very rarely does anything for gaming performance

I have a Z77/Ivy Bridge setup and I'm looking to upgrade to a dual SLI GTX 970. Will my two PCIe 3.0 x8 slots bottleneck two GTX 970 Maxwells in SLI?

No, definitely will not.
