[TJeezey]

or maybe 1 580 1.5gb? what route should i take?

 

[DM186]

Two GTX 560 Ti's will do so much better than one GTX 580.

 

[sleapeasy]

2 GTX 560's will be better than the 570, Also i would upgrade to a cm hyper212, i dont trust closed loop systmes to much.

you can also probably get it cheaper by shopping around. digitalstorm, custompcandrepairs,ibuypower and whatnot

Hey If you get the GTX 560 Ti's with the 448 cores and run them in SLI you will blow the doors off of a 570 and a 580 with no problem. And It is a proven fact.

Now you could go 2x GTX 570's in sli or just one GTX 590 which it comes with two core in the one card. Those card would be if I was going to run resolution above 1920 x 1200 with the 2GB of Vram on the end of the cards.

If you aren't going to run high resolution but have 2 or monitors get the 560's you have posted with the 1.2 GB Vram. I hope this was a little more help.
