Definitely look into getting a better GPU. Even a GTX 970 has a difficult time maintaining 60 fps on Dragon Age: Inquisition ultra settings as it is. Not too long from now, you may be looking at low to medium settings, especially on games like Tom Clancy's The Division. Games will continue to have steeper system requirements and before long, you may be needing to even upgrade to an Intel Core i7 Broadwell or Skylake CPU.
That's still a beast of a PC. The only future upgrades I see from that system of yours is the Graphics Card... but only upgrade if the games require you to depending on the resolutions you want/need to run.

If I were in your shoes having that system, I'd invest getting a second GTX660 and SLI.
 
The only thing I can see bringing your rig down is the GPU. While the 660 Ti is by no means bad, for "Next Gen" going into 2015 it's a bit outdated... Just be prepared to turn down graphical settings to sustain a higher FPS, or whatever framerate is acceptable to you.

If you want to, you could find another 660 Ti to run in SLI... but honestly if you have the extra money, I'd invest in a more powerful single GPU like the 970 rather than SLI two less powerful cards.
