I think you would see a significantly improved overall performance from a new mobo/CPU.

The 285GTX is a pretty beastly Gfx card, odds are for your build if you bottleneck at all, it will be processor based.

Adding another 285 GTX will provide VERY diminished returns per dollar spent.

If it was up to me, Mobo and CPU, and if you have the cash 4 GB of DDR3 1600ish RAM.

But CPU/mobo is a higher priority.

Iv just found out that ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail doesent support SLI..so this on is out of the question..i just need a simple 2 way Sli mobo that supports up to 1600mhz ram,And an socket for Am3..but i quess now i should change Thread:(
