SSD or another video card?
i've ordered a new computer, among the components is a single 560 GTi and an OCZ Vertex 2 60 GB SSD drive. should i forget about the SSD and get a second 560 GTi to run in SLI or no?
i am currently running in 1680x1050 resolution, and i know that SLI'd 560 GTi might be overkill for that resolution at this stage, but keep in mind that i don't upgrade my system every few months or each year, more like every 3 years or so; i'm still using a 8800! i might also make the move to 1920x1020 sometime in the future.
as i understand it, the SSD market is going through a lot more fluctuations than most other components, with capacities rising and prices dropping.
should i keep the SSD now and get another 560 later in the future or instead buy a better SSD later and grab another 560 now?

Re: SSD or another video card?
Just for the record it's a GTX560 ti.
I would recommend a second 560 over the SSD. I bought a 180GB Vertex 2 and have discovered the disadvantages of SSD's. They are good but for your money you're going to get a lot more out of a second GPU. The new SATA 6 SSD's with twice the speed of the standard SSD's now are going to be hitting the market soon while not costing hardly any extra per GB, so if you wait a few months before diving into the SSD market you will be able to get a larger faster drive for less, whereas if you waited on the second GTX560 you wouldn't save very much money and still get the same thing you can get now.
