The GTX 660 is outdated. Get a 670 or at least a 660 TI. Though a 760 is about the same price.

I have a Gigabyte UD3 990FX and that rev is outdated. The new rev is 4.0 and that rev has different heatsinks from the one on the picture you showed. Also, get a R9 285 or R9 280x; both are better than the 760s.

Other thing, get a FX 6300; it's not that expensive and it's good too. PSU is good.

Thanks for telling me that keeps a promise this should work perfectly for me

Right now i have a pretty good computer build including CPU overclocked and GPU overclocked by myself with a custom cooling.

so because i have a AMD 7770 graphics card can i use the GTX Graphics card as well because i really never used to graphics card and i dont no if it would work together.

You can use them both probably, but just independently, you cant link them. There wont be a speed boost at all, but just a drastical boost in power usage, eventually overloading your PSU.
The only case where using 2 different graphic cards would speed anything up is if you like to play two 3D games at the same time on two monitors - with one graphics card for each game.

overloading as in taken up all the PSU?

i use two monitors with one graphics card right now done it on a ton of games however, am not really happy the way the 2nd monitor looks it's a tv but i can't really seem to get it working on to 100 refresh rate correct me if am wrong i only can get it working on 60 or less refresh rate.

The real reason why am upgrading because i want to get the best FPS out they like GTA V when it comes out and stuff but hoping it's not shitty designed like the GTA IV was i cant even get 20 fps on GTA IV low setting's and High settings.

If the PSU is not good for two graphics card please feel free to link me what you think is best because as i said am not pretty good with computer upgrades part's i only know a few.

Thanks for the comment.
