Solution
Yes you can use the 660, no you cannot sli it with the apu graphics. This assumes you have enough psu to run the 660.
The 660 would be doing all the graphics chores, and you would be hooking your monitor up to the video card output rather than the mobo output.
You would get a significant increase from this. Moreso if you went 660ti/670/760/770.
Need more info on your system if you want more specific answers.

Certain AMD cards will crossfire with your apu, however it is debatable whether you would gain performance, since not all games support crossfire.

If you are talking about using two 660s in SLI then yes this SLI can be used with A8. If you want to SLI one 660 with GPU of A8 then it is not possible. SLI can be created on nVIDIA cards only. For AMD cards, crossfire can be created or used.

Remember not all games support crossfire/sli. Even if you manage the crossfire/sli thru software then still you will not be able to enjoy all games.
