If your ultimate aim is Ph.D in USA then you need to take GRE/TOEFL. That will open vast options and if you are planning to do some where outside US then GRE is basically not required but TOEFL may be required for the Language Requirement. So it's your choice now. For PHD in USA Subject GRE is way more important than Gen GRE, you should must take that as well.

And another thing is that, It is always better to have some back up plans and for that reason Clearing NET and GATE is essential.
