I've been considering getting another 970 card but I wanted to ask around and see if it's worth it or not. SLI 970 wouldn't really mix too well with my current 8320 right? I'm thinking waiting for the new Intel line but i'm not sure when those are supposed to be released. So basically 2 questions:

Is the SLI 970 worth it?
Will the SLI 970 be bottlenecked by a 8320 processor?

You can SLI two 970's jut fine on your 8320, there isn't a problem with SLI on the AMD board. SLI 970's are actually a good value as opposed to other cards in SLI. However; your 970's will be capable of doing more than your 8320 can handle. Nothing on the AMD architecture would justify a CPU upgrade. You could get your second card for SLI and then upgrade to an Intel platform in the future.
