About 1 1/2 year ago I bought a Powercolor Radeon HD 6970 for about 2300 NOK (that's 400 USD). It's a fantastic GFX card, but I am considering replacing it with a GTX 660. Main reason is because the 660 is very affordable and I'm trying to stick to a reasonable budget, but still get most bang for the buck. . A lot of my games tend to be choppy and the frame rate often drops.
I picked out some games where I'll checked average FPS and minimal FPS.
Battlefield 3:
1920x1080
High settings
Ave. FPS: 52
Min. FPS: 30-35
World of Warcraft
1920x1080
Good settings
Ave. FPS: 180
Min. FPS: 35-40
Counter Strike: Global Offensive
1920x1080
Very high settings
Ave. FPS: 100
Min. FPS: 55-60
Team Fortress 2
1920x1080
Very high settings
Ave. FPS: 120
Min. FPS: 30-35
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
1920x1080
High settings
Ave. FPS: 50
Min. FPS: 20-25
------------------------
My current specs are:
Motherboard - MSI 870A Fuzion
GPU - Radeon HD 6970
RAM - 8 GB DDR3
CPU - AMD Phenom II X4 965 running at 3.41 GHz

If you think I should keep the graphics card and replace my CPU or something else instead, then please do tell!
I'm open for suggestions.
