I would sell your 660 and pick up a higher end card with a wider memory bus. Maybe a 7950/770/7970GE/780 depending on your budget. I wouldn't go SLI with a mid-range card like the 660.

Only other thing I would really say is worth upgrading would be a higher capacity ssd.

 

Like above comment I say new gpu...but dw about the ssd capacity unless you just have to have one....128gb is fine imo.

 

GPU. GTX 770 would be nice.

 

Definitely the GPU

 

What is your budget for the upgrade?

 

I'd get a higher end card, SLI wouldn't be bad but it'll consume more power- but your PSU is alright, it should be able to handle it. Going with a nice 7950, or a 670/760 wouldn't be a bad idea, but ideally if you had the cash, you could get a 7970, or a 680/ 780.

I'm gonna agree with estayba, a larger SSD could help, but a faster 128GB SSD could help as well. I think that a nicer cooler could help your rig be more quiet (if it's loud), so something like a Noctua NH-U14S would be a nice addition to your rig

Shouldn't I wait for the 8000 series from AMD?

I am in the 400-500$ range.

How much could I sell my 660?

Reason I recommended against SLI is because it is never really ideal on a mid range card. The 192 bit memory bus and high power consumption mean you are almost always better off going with a high end single card vs SLI on mid range ones (IMHO). Of course if you have your heart set on SLI I'm sure you won't be disappointed with the performance increase.

That being said I wouldn't get a 680 now as you can get a 770 for the same price with better performance and higher quality memory chips.

A nicer cooler is definitely something I overlooked. However, he'd be hard pressed to find an SSD that is faster than the 830 and still worth the price. The 830 can still hold its own against even some of the newest drives.

 

Id guess you could probably get at least 140-150 for your 660. That combined with your $400-500 budget could get you a 780, or even a 770/7970GE along with a good 240-256Gb ssd.

You should upgrade your GPU to a GTX 770.

 

Am I wrong in saying just get another and SLI the 660s?

It's around $200, and SLI with those should be capable enough to use lightboost effectively on his monitor with no AA, or maybe 2x at max and tone some settings down. His PSU is capable of powering it though the 192 bit bus may be a deal breaker, though he's only on a single 1080p monitor.

You can also wait a bit more for the 8000 (or is it 9000 series?) from AMD to possibly lower prices on the 770.
