These are the games I would like to play on my PC.

The 6670 is the best card out of all of those you listed. The 5670 is slightly slower than the 6670. The 5570 is the slowest card, and I would only recommend that card only if you have a very, very weak power supply (something like 250 Watts) What resolution are you going to be playing at? If you are playing at a lower resolution like 1280x1024, the 6670 will perform well in most of these titles, though you will probably have to use reduced details on Battlefield 3 and Witcher 2. If you are playing at a higher resolution, like 1920x1080, you will probably have to run most of those games at reduced detail settings to get an acceptable framerate, especially Witcher 2 and Battlefield 3.

If you are playing at a higher resolution, you may want to look at something higher than the 6670. Though I can't make any recommendations without knowing more about your power supply (make, model, how many amps on the +12V rail). Your CPU is also rather slow, so a lot of the higher end cards would likely get bottlenecked by your CPU, especially in the more CPU heavy titles (BF3, StarCraft II).
