With that system, what do you recommend me to upgrade first - will the CPU or the GPU be the harder bottleneck?

In all reality, that CPU will be causing issues, and will be a big bottleneck. The GPU is actually not too bad - it should be able to give you decent performance at medium-to-low settings. You can make your own thread to get more advice on this, but between the need for a quad-core and faster, higher-capacity RAM, I'd recommend swapping those 3 things out to something like an i3-2120 with 8 GB of DDR3-1600 RAM.

CPU: Intel Core i7-3770 @3.4 GHz
RAM: 16GB DDR3 @1600 MHz (I was thinking 16 way over the top considering, but I needed another's opinion)
OS: Win7
GPU: Nvidia GTX 660 1.5GB
What do you think? Will I be okay?

Should be good.
