You should tell us a price range, although I think that you should wait for Maxwell, because something like a GTX 760 is not too much more powerful than the 660, and after that GPUs start to get pretty expensive. When 800 series cards come out (we don't know when), prices will come down for the current generation cards, and something like a GTX 860 will more likely be pretty awesome, in the future, when they come out.

I know exactly when 800 series comes out lol... I am talking about until then.... Should I sell my 660 and get a 760 because when 800 series come out a 660 will be worth nothing.... I am talking about getting best money for my 660, not the upgrade

Its all looks these days

Not worth selling the 660. As I said, 760 isn't that much more powerful than the 660.

You misunderstand.... I dont care about the upgrade, would it be a smarter move to sell my 660 before its worth nothing?

A GTX 660 is around 200 bucks now. When 800 series cards come out, you should sell the 660, you're more likely gonna get 120+ dollars off of it, and you'll see then what GPU would be good for you.

No because the extra money you spend on the 760 will not be worth the savings you get from selling the 660 now you have to think about commission and postage costs not just the price of the card.

Yes, because you can still play games with your 660 until those launch, and then, when you have some money, sell the 660 for the rest of the money you need for the GPU you want.
