do you already have one 660? or have you already got 2 of them? i found 1x 660 to be fine for mostly max settings 1080p 4xaa in bf3 getting 60fps in multiplayer, getting a second one for me did nothing in that game, can add more AA and still get 60fps (i have vsync on 60hz). I would be careful of your thermaltake tr2 psu, they often dont get great reviews. I would proably just get the card, then worry about overclocking if you dont see any performance gain, you wont be getting 144fps constant though if that was your plan with the 144hz monitor. an 8320 isnt much of an upgrade over the 6300, certainly not if you OC the 6300.

i already have the 660's in sli and my monitor is 75hz 19inch so i wana stay on that 75fps .. im not getting the frames i thought i would get i mayb get 10 to 20 more frames with sli..but im playing to get 850w psu the fx8320 or 8350 and asus 144hz monitor.. i tried overclocking but now everytime i overclock i cant watch videos and battlefield freezes even if i do the auto oc it still does the same so im stock at 3.5ghz now..i dont really care abt max settings for bf3 i want to maintain 144 or 120fps
