do you want more cuda cores or higher clock speed for bf3 or is it a mix

It would work with it the links you have a 560TI and a 570 the 570 is much more powerful card

to answer your question NVIDIA's cards will perform better in your preferred game-types (BF3, GTA IV, open world games like Skyrim and Fallout 3). it allows gaming with PhysX and Adaptive VSync.

Personally if i was you i would wait for 660 TI to release Aug.16th. it should preform better than a 570 and cost around $300.00 it should also bring prices down on other cards

another question is should i go with a phenom x4 or a fx 4 core or a fx 6 core

A 570 would probably be a very good choice if you had to buy today, but as other people have said, the 660 Ti, which will be out soon (rumored release August 16th), (1) is going to be a very good card and (2) may throw the pricing off in this bracket. It has 2GB of VRAM running on a 192-bit bus--odd choice, IMHO, but this likely means it will run 1080p great and resolutions above that not as well. Since you're at 1080p, you should probably wait the ten days and see how it is before buying anything.
