Need new video card suggestions

[GimpsGTP]

I'm currently in the process of putting a new machine together and know for sure ill be using either an intel I5 or I7. Ill be using Wow maxed settings, possibly two accounts at once, while web browsing. I have heard good things about running dual cards SLI in the past so wanted to know if I would have better luck with one good card or two ok cards.

Suggestions welcome

what is your budget looking like for the gpu?

I would say around 200 maybe a tad more if I end up trying SLI

Id go with one stronger card that two lower cards in SLI.

A good option for $200 would be...
GTX 560 1GB

Or if you really wanted sli you could also consider 2x gtx 550.

SLI is strongly not recommended.
Get a single Card.
And for $200

If you are willing to extend you budget by $23 then this would be an amazing card to get

Otherwise

$169

I personally am seriously considering upgrading my gpu to the 560ti, and from what i have researched, it looks like an amazing card and great bang for your buck. I doubt it will have any problems running WOW.

In your case, sli would not be reccomended (like mihir said) because you would have to buy more expensive equipment to support it. ex: sli supported motherboard and psu.

GTX560 all the way
