Can you notice a real difference in your games?

True, but I bought my rig like 4 months ago and I want even better quality. Some people say that SLI 660 is a bad idea, any opinion?
 
it can be good and bad. Some games respond better than others to it and you can run into problems when setting it up and while running it. It's just more complicated so there's more things to go wrong. As far as those specific cards, I think they scale fairly well.

Yep, sounds right. The rig in my sig only used about 590W of the 850W avaliable. This includes OC's on RAM, CPU and GPU's.

Do you think selling my 660 and buying a single 770 would be better?
 


Personally I wouldn't as SLi'd 660's will be faster and the 770 is just a refreshed/rebadged 680.
