    Go for the 590.It's DUAL GPU so you already have a setup that would effectively be SLI anyways. If you have the money for 1 then it would seem that you would then have the money sometime within the next couple of years to buy another one. The concern is the CPU. With this card I am thinking that gaming might jsut be in your future. If that is the case then your only option would be the i5 2500K. Anything less INCLUDIN GTHE AMD SIDE OF THINGS( 1100T ) would be bottlenecked by this beast. To allow this beast to effectively spread its' wings for multi-tasking, rendering, eencoding etc. then you would of course go for the i7 2600K. So you will be going with the Classified 1155 board? I would use that because two of these is of course quad sli. The 570 couldn't even touch the 1000+ cuda cores and 3GB+ of video RAM. Even going sli with the 570 wouldn't touch the possible triple monitor setup or insane resolution on 2 32" 1080I monitors. The cooling is also better in the 590. The con of the 590 would be the increased power consumption which I would suspect would be noticeable in your upcoming electricity bills. In 3+ years when the 590 starts showing it's age just go SLI and you are on the cutting edge again. If one should die in the interim then EVGA will pick up the tab in the replacement card because they both come with a lifetime warranty as long as you REGISTER.

    a million. AMD enjoying cards are stable, yet, pesonally, I choose nVidia. 2. 4 GB is adequate even for a hardcore gamer. I moved from 4 to eight GBs of RAM, and that i fairly did not see the version. 3. stable MB, you do not choose a extra ideal one. 4. that is risky, yet I overclocked the two my i7-970 and my GTX 580 and that they the two artwork like a charm. 5. PhysX can run on the 570.
