Hello,

i7-4930k
64GB RAM
SabertoothX79
SSD 250 Samsung evo
GTX 660 3GB
Windows7

This build is already running 24/7 with 90%+ CPU usage and 60%+ GPU usage (not mining).
I want to add up to two 7950s to my build to mine some LTC since it is running 24/7 and it has some spare RAM and CPU (not much). Is it possible?

Cgminer should use almost no CPU and very little RAM.
It should be possible to mix ATI and NVIDIA cards, but im not sure how it will turn out when both are working heavy on different tasks, if it will hurt the overall performance or bring a lot of instability thus not being worthed, etc.

Any advice?

Thanks.

what are you doing with it right now? You can run both cards in win7 no issues; cgminer does take some some cycles....

That's the real question what are you doing with the system now

it'll work just fine if you have a strong enough psu. Looks like you'll need about 1000 watts for that system.
