I just bought a XPS 8300 i7 2600 computer and I want to run a two monitor setup
for gaming for me and for my wife to do a lot of photo editing with photoshop and paintshop pro. I had a 35% off coupon so It was only 150 bucks to upgrade to the 560gtx ti. I mainly am planning on playing swtor on max setting 2 monitors. My question is should I go SLI with another gtx 560 ti or should I sell the gtx 560 ti and buy a gtx 580? I dont know if they will even fit in the case for the 8300. For the PSU it has a 460W power supply, which is rated by the very conservative Dell standard of continuous power. Will I have to buy a new PSU either way? Will I have any problems with heat if I am not going to OC the cards? Thanks in advance.
