You'll have bottleneck issues if you did! My 660's in SLI were problematic, issues with stablilty and the performance increase was not as great as doing SLI with better cards.

Personally, I'd look at getting a 2nd hand 2500k, mobo & RAM, but if your not in a position to replace it all, a 680 or a 7950 would be a good upgrade.

i had previously been considering moving to an ivy i5 3570k but didnt think the change was worth the cost. i had hoped there would be more of a saving after the release of haswell

If you're not looking for a full upgraded then go for the best single card you can, AMD 7970 Ghz probably the favorite for BF4 unless you're getting into GTX780 cash.
