I had the 4170 oc'd up to 4.9ghz , but useing passmark to check performance 4.7 ghz was the most peformance any thing more is unneaded. i now have the 8350 fx. also make sure you unpark all cores in windows 7 or you will only be utilizing 2 cores and 2 threads. check out this thread it will help. also you will want your (ht) at 2600mhz and you will see big gains.

also wanted to say the 4170 should be plenty for that setup.

It actually might still bottleneck, even with that high clock speed. Bulldozer has a lot of problems, and overclocking only alleviated some of those. You also only have two modules on that chip, meaning you have 4 integer cores, but only two Floating Point Units that have to be shared, which will probably negatively effect gaming performance.

You can get the two 660s, but you may find yourself in a position where you'll need a CPU upgrade as well. I hope your motherboard supports Piledriver.

It's a pretty weak CPU, and bulldozer while at it. But since it's a pretty good overclock, you SHOULD get by. Though, if possible, get a FX6300 and you'd be good at 3.5 :).
