I'd personally stick with a single card solution. Just get the best single card solution out there (7800GTX). I remember reading benchmarks on Tom's Hardware and Anandtech that had single card solutions beat out SLI. SLI can get a little glitchy too, at certain times you may see the difference between where the two cards render. SLI will also draw alot more power and generate alot more heat for not that great of a performance increase. Another thing is relaibility, I would imagine SLI might have problems since it's more complex then a single card solution. Just make sure you get a good processor, good RAM, a good HDD, and a good single card solution, and you should be fine running all your games on the highest settings.

I didn't read that

. That seems to be the best thing to do.
