I would go for 670 as it can reach esily 680 stock clocks. You won't need that extra vram at this moment (and for at least 2 years) unless for heavy texture modding in Skyrim.

Edit: oh, and you should crank up your cpu. your SB at stock clocks will botleneck dramatically the gpu (given my experience).

For card like GTX660 2GB is more than enough.

As fast as technology changes, maybe 3GB is reasonable? My son plays games that are outrageously intense graphically, he'd probably love 3GB on a card.

What's your opinion, Mr. Hagedoorn?

GeForce GTX 660 Ti Gigabyte OC 3GB Edition is a special edition of GeForce GTX 660 Ti.
The new features include the "Triangle Cool" Technology cooling solution is more effective than the standard/reference cooler. In terms of overclocking, the base-clock was increased from 915MHz to 1032MHz and the boost clock can now reach 1111MHz, instead of 980MHz. The memory clock was left untouched but the frame buffer was increased to 3GB which might not prove useful in most situations.
The overclocking is quite relevant and on level with GeForce GTX 660 Ti WindForce 2X OC Edition...."
