Will Dual: EVGA GeFORCE GTX 660 2GB graphics cards work well with a Core i3-3220 3.3ghz ivy bridge

Also will 1600mhz ram work well or should i just use 1333mhz @ 16gb G-Skill

GIGABYTE GA-B75M-D3V LGA 1155 Intel B75 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
- this motherboard has a 1 pci 2.0 slot and 1 pci 3.0 slot

I don't want to miss a beat, all of these questions are in regards to gaming, and getting the MAX FPS possible, i am also only using one monitor.

for the ram you want to use the set up that give you the best CL timings (the lower the better) you can use cpuz for instance to see the speed profiles to figure that out. as for gaming it'll work just fine you shouldnt hit any real snags. As for right now the dual core will work, but a upgrade to a quad core in the near future would be best to avoid bottlenecking on the multi core games that will be comming out in the future.

I've been impressed with the performance of my i3-3220; paired with a 7950 boost and 8GB of RAM I can play Crysis 3 @ 1080p w/ a combination of medium/high settings with very few dips into the sub-30 FPS area. I'm sure at some point I will upgrade to an i5, but the i3 has lasted a lot longer than I expected.

I would definitely upgrade to an i5, since Haswell has just been released. A Haswell i5 would greatly outperform an Ivy Bridge i3, for probably only about $50 more. I'm assuming that, since you're planning on running SLI, you're not extremely hard-pressed for money and can afford the extra couple dollars to get a much better processor.
