I posted this in PC gaming then realized this forum may be a better bet:

I'm currently using a PC I built in 2012:
i5-2500K Sandy Bridge
ASUS P8Z68-V LE motherboard (1600mhz memory)
MSI N570GTX (1280mb RAM)
8gb DDR3 RAM

I'm moving up from a 1080 monitor to a 2560x1440 for my primary monitor (my second monitor usually just plays movies or has a website open while I'm gaming) and so I'd like to upgrade my video card as well. Am I better off getting two in the GTX700 range and doing SLI, or just getting one card in the GTX900 range? Or is my 570GTX still OK?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: budget for the new card(s) is somewhere in the $300 range
 


Thanks I forgot to put that in there. I edited the original post - hoping not to go over $300, but can probably get up to 350-375 if it's crucial
