Few Questions Before I Upgrade My GPU

Hi there, just need a few questions answering before I take the plunge and buy this card:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-332-AS

1) I have a 7970 at the moment, is this going to give me a big performance boost?

2) I have a Xigmatek Asgard Pro Gaming Case and a GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 motherboard, will it fit?

3) Will a 550W XFX Pro Core Edition 80PLUS Bronze Power Supply be ok?

4) As I'm using an AMD card now I'm guessing all I will need to do is uninstall the drivers before I place my new GPU in and just install the NVIDIA drivers and I'm ready to go, correct?

Sorry about asking what are probably stupid questions but it's a lot of money and I want to make sure it's a good purchase haha :D


Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the reply.

That's good to hear, I will definitely be getting a new power supply somewhere down the line.

What do you mean by fresh format?

That is something to think about but I've read a lot of people have a lot of problems with running two GPU's so it's kind of put me off a little.

The only thing I'm worried about now is if the card will actually fit in my case!
 
Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to stick with the 780ti as I will be wanting to buy an Nvidia Shield in the future :D

Hope I'm happy with this buy, it's a lot of money!
