So with the release of Battlefield 4 coming out I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on my pc specs. I currently have a Dell XPS 730x with an I7 940, 6gb ddr3 1066 ram, gtx 660 2gb sc, 500gb hd, windows 8, 1000watt psu and a 144hz monitor.

I mostly only play battlefield 3 currently but I will be switching to battlefield 4 and then later on maybe titanfall. I know it is hard to judge unreleased games needs based just off listed recommended specs of 8gb ram and a gtx 660 for battlefield 4. But I know battlefield 4 will have some dx 11.1 enhancements and that a 660 is not full dx11.1 and a 700 series would be. I currently run battlefield 3 mostly on medium settings but still do not get above 120fps really which would benefit the 1080p 144hz monitor the most.

I was wondering if anyone could give their experience using sli as I see some people have issues while others don't is it fine to use and worth it? I have seen some people say that 660sli can be similar to the performance of a 780 is that accurate? My budget is small and saw where I could maybe get another 660 for like 180$ without the sli bridge (any suggestions on bridges/where to buy?). I don't typically sell any parts online but if I found someone to buy old 660 would it be worth getting a 760? Basically looking to see if there if adding a second 660 would help maintain that above 120-144fps for the monitor.

Which 660 is it because there are three of them?

If you can sell that and get a 760 that would be the way to go as that is the weakest of the three versions of the 660.

No but not by much I wouldn't have thought, the 760 is an OC'd OEM 660 that has more cores than the 660 you have which is where the oomph comes from.
