Tough call for strictly gaming. The i7 is the faster processor (for gaming), but the HD 7950 is the faster Gfx card. Both systems would be more than adequate for those games at 1080p. I doubt you could tell the difference while gaming. I'm thinking the i7's 4 Hyper Threaded cores would be faster at multi threaded apps than the FX's 4 Pile Driver modules.
Faced with those two choices, I'd probably opt for the i7 machine. I could always put a faster card in it if the GTX 660 didn't cut it anymore.
