It'd be the other way around for a while before the CPU is bottlenecked by the GPU.

It will have no benefit in gaming.

Hyper threading makes little to no difference in games since it's not supported most of the time.

This is assuming he plays those games, and also assuming he wants to record gameplay. With Shadowplay coming soon, the 3570K won't even be used for encoding.
