Single 580 vs 580 sli

[Hal Three Thousand]

I'm debating whether or not add another 580 video card for gaming on a 1920x1200 monitor. Just wondering if it's worth it right now, or if I should wait until later in the year. My specs are in my signature, and I might also change the power supply, but so far have heard conflicting statements on whether or not the Corsair 850 could handle a 580 sli setup.

Thanks in advance!

A single GTX 580 can handle all games perfectly fine on your resolution, do you have any problems with it ?

right now, you are unlikely to gain any noticeable improvement. You should already be maxing out your games and getting more than 60 frames, so adding another card a waste. Get one when the single card struggles, because by then a second card will be much cheaper.

If you have money to spend on an upgrade, I would suggest an SSD. Everything else in your system seems top notch, so that likely the best upgrade you are going to get.

no sence in getting another 580 right now a single one can max out everything and get pretty high frames per second

That's what I figured, but I just wanted to be sure I was getting the most out of my setup. I'll wait until the second card becomes necessary....thanks for everyone's feedback.
