I currently have a single gtx 660 and I want to buy another one and run them in sli. I have an intel i-5 (I am pretty sure it is the best i-5 you can get) and I and wondering if I should upgrade to an i-7. Would my i-5 be a bottleneck to the dual gtc 660? Would there be a noticable performance increase with an i-7?

Depends, some high end i5's can handle not bottlenecking SLI 660's, which aren't necessarily very difficult to compare to. Most i7's should do the trick also but if you're sure your i5 can do it, go for it

An i5-4670k would do the job well. Is that what you have?

BTW, is your PSU rated at least 600W? That's the minimum recommendation for GTX 660 2-way SLI.
