So what shoulod i do

first you need to know a bit about SLI.

the benefits of sli ONLY come out with high resolutions, a.k.a. 1600x1200 and above.

if you have a monitor capable of delivering those resolutions, then perhaps you might want to go sli and try it out.

otherwise, stick to the nice processor and don't bother buying a second card, or at least buy the ultra and see if that outperforms the regular GTX.
