As pointed before, today it's not feasible to go for SLI configuration since the next generation card is considerably faster. Buying an older second card will cost you more than just ditching the old card and getting a new one. So SLI is only suitable if you're going to pluck dual cards in initially.

And the new GTX is about 20-30% faster than the current one if you look at the clock rates.

The RAM you get limits your possible future overclocking abilities. So, go for normal PC3200 if you don't care about overclocking. Minimum 1G, 2G would be nice.
