Hi guys here at Tom's Hardware, I've made the decision to finally spend some cash on a new Video card/Capture card so that I can finally start streaming World of Warcraft on Twitch.tv and also play bf3 on ultra settings. Currently these are the specs of my RIG.

Processor: I5-2500k @ 4.5 Ghz
Memory: 16gb G.Skill Ripjawx @ 1866mhz
Mobo: Asrock Extreme 6 z77
PSU: An OCZ 700 Watt PSU
GPU: Saphire 6850
Monitor: 2x some Hp monitors at 1600x900 (I might get a 1920x1080p since these cards can handle that Res)

I'm currently looking to replace the graphics card since I think all my other parts are up to date I just didnt splurge on a graphics card when I built the machine. Budget is Sub $550

The following Combos I've looked at are:

Two of these in SLI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127699

Capture Card + 660TI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127708 + http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815100100

If there are any better combos out there that you would suggest then please post them, thanks for the advice in advance.
