What is the exact model of your motherboard? We won't be able to advise whether you need a motherboard if you don't tell us.

The other components are compatible. Note that GTX 660 may have graphics problems in High Sierra (and maybe Mojave?).

And you are going to have to find second hand motherboards since socket 1155 motherboards that work with your CPU are no longer available new.

The motherboard is compatible.

As for video card, Radeon RX 560 is better.

AMD R9 270, 270x, 280x, or RX 460-560 are the most affordable video cards. Don’t get XFX brand for those they may have incompatible bios.
RX 470-580 cards will work as well for a little more money.

Now if your motherboard still works, you may not need to change anything at this point. Test your motherboard with the CPU, RAM, graphics card and SSD first to see if the system powers up and detects your SSD. If they still work together you can go on to the next step.

If you are going to install MacOS Sierra and not High Sierra or Mojave, you can continue to use the GTX 660. You can also use the Intel SSD if you want. If you want to install High Sierra or Mojave, you should consider changing to another graphics card like the AMD cards mentioned above.
