What's it being used for? It's very similar to my potential build.

I'd get a 2nd Hard Drive WD Scorpio Black 320/500 GB Because a 120 SSD will fill up quickly

I was thinking of upping to a 240gb ssd. id really like to have only ssd's, so everything is super fast. Bad idea?

Gaming & Uni work. Will the 660M be powerful enough?

Nothing wrong with that it'll push the price up though, Do you have a budget ?

What type of gaming/games and what settings are you looking to run (ultra? high? medium?)?

What uni work will you be doing on it? Essays and presentations? 3D design? Photograph and/or video editing?

You could push up to the Skyfire with the GTX670 depending what games you want to play and what settings ?
