SLI is a bad deal afaik. You pay for an extra full card, yet you can only really use a percentage of it.

Lets assume that I was dirt poor back then and could only afford ~$100 for a video card at any given time.

If I get shot and it's a gay medic fixing me up, he's not gonna be fondling my balls while he does it. You can't patch a chest wound and suck a cock at the same time.

I feel like if I go over a GTX 560 that I would need to upgrade my PSU as well.

GTX 560s are $250 on new egg with a free copy of Batman Arkham city.

GTX 570s are like $350ish i think. Right now im debating between those 2.

Get a single card dude that's powerful instead of SLI its a better investment get a 560 TI or a 570 TI. Less heat more power plus the TI's come overclocked so you get more of your monies worth.
