Hey guys here is my current build

FX-8350
8 gb ram
Gigabyte MB 990fxa-UD3
MSI GTX 660


So i was wondering should i purchase another 660 and use SLI or just upgrade to another card in the $300 range and give my brother my current 660 so he can start building his pc ?
Any feedback is welcome.
 
What case and PSU do you have?
Is your FX-8350 overclocked?
What games are you playing?
What's the max resolution of your monitors?
 
What case and PSU do you have? NZXT Source 210 Elite and Rosewill capstone 550w Gold Cert.
Is your FX-8350 overclocked? No
What games are you playing? Diablo 3,CS:Go and soon to be playing watch dogs , titanfall and the division
What's the max resolution of your monitors? 1080p
I'm happy to answer any other questions.
I was thinking about getting this card and i could also sell the games to offset some of the cost.

The GTX 770 is only 30% faster than your current card. Up to you if 30% more performance is worth $300. But if your brother is going to build a PC for sure, then yeah, give him your GTX 660.

However, for the current games you've mentioned so far, your GTX 660 should suffice for now. For the future games, I would wait for those games to come out first to see their hardware requirements.
 
Ok makes sense well my mom is giving me $150 towards the new card so i'm only paying about $200
