Hi! I'm going to be playing SWTOR very soon and I am looking to upgrade my video card!

From what I have read it might be difficult to upgrade my current video card, and I must say I am not very confident in my abilities to pick out a correct replacement.
I was considering buying another card and running SLI, and I was wondering if the Geforce 9500 GT would be suitable for this.
Also, what newer video cards would these two cards running in SLI be comparable to?
Thank you!
