750 watts is more than enough, you could even SLI 2 GTX 770s if you felt so inclined!

Not 100% sure you would get SLI 770s, but I wouldn't be surprised if you did either. I am sure you will be fine with a single 770 though.

Don't know how well Nvidia works with miss matched SLI, but you could try using your 660 with the 770. I know AMD can miss match most of the time without issue, but not sure about Nvidia.

Maybe you missed three different times in two sentences where I said "Don't know", "try", and "not sure". The only way I could make it more obvious I wasn't sure if Nvidia could work that way is if I put it in bold 2" letters.

I was just point out to him the idea encase it did work that way, since you can easily plug for example an AMD Radeon 7850 in with a 7790, 7870, and others and get it to work.

no nvidia is ten times more strict than amd if they dont have the same chip, memory count, cuda cores it will not work i guarantee this. a 660 and 770 will not sli.
