SLI build or GTX 560+ Higher end build

[bryankiddo]

Hello,
I have a few questions since this is my first real build, in 2011 i decided to switch to the pc world of gaming and got the following setup:

-EVGA GTX 460 SSC Edition 1GB (don't know if i can overclock it or not still new to computers)
- 4GB GSkill DDR3 1600 RAM
- Raidmax Hybrid 2 730W PSU
- BIOSTAR A770E3 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard
- AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz (not overclocked)
- CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Plus Cooling
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

I was wondering would it be better if i got another 4GB of ram, upgrade to the fx 6core by amd, and go sli to run bf3 at ultra settings with 60+fps

give me ideas :/

don't buy the fx 6 core its worse than your current cpu for gaming.

Just get 2 460s if you want the most for your money.

2 460s performance is around that of the 580 and you'd be able to play bf3 very well.

Save your money to upgrade to a better cpu once you can upgrade mobo and cpu. An intel cpu is the best for gaming right now. The 955 is already the top of the line AMD gaming cpu, just overclock it and you should be fine for now.

But that's where i come into a problem newegg doesn't sell my card anymore it's listed as "Deactivated" so sli mode for that is out :/ i saw two 560's (non ti version) selling cheap (also heard that the 560ti's are stronger compared to the regular 560's is that true?) will the two 560's run just about the same as the 580? and what would you recommend for cooling?

Get a GTX 560 ti, it's worth it to increase a price a bit because you will see the performance boost. Don't SLI, better buy 560 ti in my opinion.
