Wanted to have second GTX 465 for SLI but it's hard to find

[AlexMGD]

Hello, I'm having trouble finding a store that has the GTX 465 (Im from Canada). There're a few ones on ebay but I dont know if it's worth the risk. So my question is...
should I keep looking for a 465 to do 2 way SLI, or sell the one I have already and get one of the newer generation (TGX 500 series) ?
I read that having 2 way SLI overclocked 465 can outperform many of the 500 series though, so it's quite a difficult decision...

thanks in advance!

probably best to sell it and get something else. Some of those cards have been able to be unlocked to gtx470's i believe....... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?253063-Guide-on-how-to-unlock-GeForce-GTX-465-into-GTX-470

I bought one of my 465's off ebay about a year ago and have not had any issues with it, obviously there is some risk buying used but you can save alot of money, many of those cards are selling under 100 bucks on ebay. You need a pretty beefy power supply to run 2 of them, and the fans can get very loud, but 2 of them overclocked is faster than any single Nvidia card other than a 590.
