Assuming you're using a full version of Resolve, and not Resolve Lite...
I think you'll get better results using a GTX690 + Quadro 4000 - keeping in mind you'll still need an external PSU.
It would be interesting to do a test - but I think a GTX690 will still out-perform a GTX660ti + Quadro 4000.
Even though it's only used for GUI, putting the GT120 in a x4 slot might also cause performance issues. I've never done any proper tests, but it's worth keeping in mind.
If you're working with 4K timelines though - I think using an expansion chassis is your best bet (unless you're talking about R3D files - in which case a RED Rocket might be a better investment).
