I do not trust the 7870s due to many issues plaguing them as well as I really don't like the power draw on those.

Between those two, get the 660 gtx, it's better than a 7850, you can check all benchmarks around the web, the 660 gtx is better in all of them.

Even with the HD 7850s updated drivers and overclock? If so ill get the GTX 660

Yes, the 660 gtx is still better.

Last question is a super clocked version worth it or should I just get the PNY

The pny is decent, there's the zotac for the same price : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500270

Better cooling, boosted clocks.
