With 8gb of ram. What kinds of games will run smoothly on this?
Basically i already have the 660 ti from my old build and the motherboard for the 1155. Im saving up fr the processor by myself, so the budget fr it is around 150-170 ish. I will be looking to upgrade the build to an i7 on 1155, and maybe a gtx 970 or a 980. But im just wondering how the 660 ti and i5 would fare for now. Im not that big a gamer, but im looking to play gta v in the near future.

GTX 660 is getting old. GTX 960 might be better choice. If you are buying, you should usually try to get newest technology. Most 3d games will run at high settings with a GTX 960. If you have a good PSU and can afford it, GTX 970 would be even better. 3570k is a great CPU and will work well with either GPU.

Although they are relatively old parts, they still should work well and they definitely can keep up with most games today. You should be able to run all games at 1080p at high - ultra settings, but you may need to adjust the anti-aliasing.

I have the exact setup. I can run every game to date that is popular such as cod aw bf4 skyrim farcry 4 at ultra settings with a few tweeks. I have 2 660 ti's tht I run in sli when the game I play is well optimized for it. If ur looking to sli I'm willing to sell both for $150 each
