Yes it will work fine, but some more recent games will be held back by the CPU. Will still perform much better than the GTX 275 though!

I would certainly overclock your CPU also to get some more speed out of it. You should be able to get at least 3Ghz.

This guy here has a setup with a GTX 660 and a Q8200

In the comments, he says that his framerate is 30(min)-43(max) fps.
I had a GTX 560 Ti, which is a bit worse that the GTX 660 and I got around 50-55(average) fps on highest settings.
I do have a heavily overpower CPU (i7 3960x), so that isn't the bottleneck in my setup.
So I doubt that if you get the 660 Ti, that you'll get a much better performance than with a 660.
Unless you plan to upgrade to a newer CPU somewhere in the future, so you CPU isn't the bottleneck anymore, I'd go with the 660.
