There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

No. All Kepler cards are generally obsolete for mining anything due to their high power consumption. Especially not for Bitcoin, which has been non gpu mineable for around 3 years and counting, as ASICs were produced which rivalled the best graphics cards at mining and later superseded them by millions of times.

Yes;  you can.

I believe some releases of ccminer 1.7 can handle those GPU's, but the algo support and optimization is lacking compared to nowadays graphics cards.

In all respects of "classic" (not recent) altcoin algos; ones like X11, X17, neoscrypt, lyra2v2, etc... tend to work fine.  Ive had issues with finding miner builds to mine on a gtx650 with X15 (i think) before...

You need to try different older (maybe newer) versions of ccminer to see if it works.  try different algos by using a multipool.

Check the "batch" link in my sig.  It links to a pool, and loads upon loads of information about getting started mining and configuring miners.   I have also written many batch files to accomplish different tasks and whatnot.

Link to my batch and script resources here.

Really hard.

Amd cards are better then Nvidia cards for mining. Also which coin you want to mine if you are thinking of mining Bitcoin then you are wrong man you cannot mine, Actually you can mine but you cannot earn money instead of lose. You can mine some altcoin but 660 hash rate is very low instead of 660 try to buy a AMD card with series 7900 , r9 series etc.
