    Looking for GFX card advice

    I'm currently running a computer with:
    Intel i5 2500k
    12gb ddr3 ram
    GTX 660 gfx card

    Up until recently i was mostly a console gamer, only playing my mmos (WoW, Secret World) on my PC.
    I've decided to start playing most of my games on PC but when i tried to play The Witcher is was evident i'm due for an updgrade.

    So my two main questions are;
    1. Is overclocking my cpu going to help my gaming at all? It's currently at factory settings and i know this cpu is able to be overclocked quite a bit.
    2. Am i better off SLI'ing my 660 or is it too outdated and not worth it.

    I can get a 660 for about $100~ or i can sell mine for about 100~ and just get a newer card instead.
    The main benefit i see to getting a second 660 and SLI is that i do run multiple monitors/use multiple workstation programs and another HDMI+DVI on a second card would be nice

    I've seen conflicting information on the web about the 660's ability to do 3 way SLI also and would like know if anyone knows for certain about that.

    My budget is going to be approximately 250$ if a new card is the right choice, and any suggestions would be appreciated so i can take a look.

    Thanks in advance

    I would wait until the next generation of nvidia comes out before buying a new card since it will make all the previous generations a lot cheaper.

    The release date hasn't been stated yet but hopefully sometime this year or early next year. If you really can't wait you could buy a card like a 970 or 980 now and then SLI it when it gets cheaper from the next generation release. I definitely wouldn't bother with SLIing a 660 at this time as the performance boost won't be that big in comparison to having a maxwell or a pascal card and the new games are going to be built around that performance.
