Yup... Add another GTX660. lucky for you Nvidia has less stuttering problem vs. AMD but i think that you'll might hit a bottleneck wall with the I5 and the reduce PCIe 2 x8 that SLI will implement.

IF you can sell your GTX660, get a HD 7950/hd7970 as it has literally 100%/x2 the bus width (192 vs 384) that will benefit from your 1440p screen. Stuttering problem of AMD has been significantly diminished so good luck :)

Yeah your best bet I think would be to SLI the cards unless you can sell and make 70% percent of the money you spent on it. If you can then I would say upgrade to a 670/7970. I'm too lazy to check right now I'm pretty sure 2x660's are faster than a 680/7970 Gig for games that are able to use SLI.
