Not worth it. Next to no difference at all.

you cant see their diferrence in terms of games

The 3470 is not going to bottleneck a 660 so the 3570 will offer no performance increase in games.

I5 3470 upgraded to a I5 3570 sell old CPU ~$50 .... 2% to 5% increase
I5 3470 upgrade to I5 3570K and Overclocking 4ghz+ and selling you old CPU $75.....around 10% increase
Upgrading or Overclocking your DDR3 to 1600mhz or better $80 to free .... 2% to 4% increase
Upgrading or overclocking your 660 gtx to $250 equivalent ..... $250 to free .... 2% to 5% increase

Conclusion
1. Minor gains to be made from tweaking existing components.
2. CPU upgrade to a K series provided you have the ability to overclock then selling your old cpu would benefit you the most for the cost which is pretty low with the great resell value of Intel Chips.
3. Upgrading your CPU to a non K will give you minor gains and not worth the cost.

The only real performance gains you will get is upgrading to an i7-4790k and even that is primarily for video editing and streaming.

Not true entirely, CPU demanding games like WoW and GW2 will benefit from a Higher Clock. From my experience going from a stock 3.2 ghz to 4.5ghz was a 10+FPS increase.

You'd be much better off getting a better GPU or SLIing your current GTX 660. Even locked i5s are very strong per core and no slouch at all.
