I'm considering upgrading my graphics card right now. I'm hoping for some help to pick a new card, I have it down to these (I play WoW and would like to play with all settings set to maximum). Also, with the card(s) chosen, would I be able to 'bridge' them together?

Thanks very much for any and all help (I would've tried to put this into a table, but I don't see an option on this forum)!
Also, if further CPU info is required... let me know what you need to know and I'll have to get back - I commute a lot, so may be couple of days before I can gather the information requested.
