3rd time (sigh)

I thought I wanted an amd build, but I saw that the games I wanted to play (blade&soul, Borderlands 2) ran better on the gtx series graphics cards as well as physx.
I'd like to know if the cpu from the previous build can still handle the parts?

As always any and all feedback is appreciated.

Nvidia specifies a 450W minimum for the 660, so you're comfortably over that with a 550W.
... and that "CPU" looks awfully like a PSU

yes, a core i5-3570k can anchor nearly any gaming system.
