Which graphics card would you go with? if you were building this computer

No doubt in my mind it would be that card right down below seeing how that's the card I'm waiting for in regards to my personal gaming build. Looking at the specs it's going to run head to head with the 7870 & 7950 yet do it for cheaper.

NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 660

Here is a build I've been doing for my friend Billy. It costs around $900. You can change the 2500K for a 2400 and get a GTX 560. You can also drop the SSD and get a Radeon 7850.

Is the ssd necessary ? Because if its not needed then its gone but thank you for the suggestion and is everything compatiable because i dont want to have to deal with those issues if they are not.
