2x 560 or 1 570!

The 560 isn't the same card as the 560ti cards so be carefull. If you go here... http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU11/188
....and look up different cards against each other to help you with your decision. They dont' do the 560 card itself...only the 560ti card so you can't measure it against a 570.
2 GTX560ti cards will demolish a single 570 card but 560ti cards are more expensive

Even two GTX560's (not the ti version) would kill the gtx570!
Asus GTX560 1GB: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-256-AS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341
For two = £295
GTX570: Evga GTX570: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-151-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1010
For one: £275
I would opt for the single card, as there will be no microstutters as you get with Sli and a hell of a lot less power needed to run it. Plus the amount of heat pushed around the case thanks to two cards!
Just get the one card! Then maybe later add a second GTX570 later on.

SLI / Crossfire uses a lot of power, has massive heat issues and can drop to half performance if the drivers aren't in place. My advice is always buy the best single GPU card you can afford unless you are benchmarking.
SLI / Crossfire offers the promise of almost doubling performance somewhere down the road, but in practice you are almost always better off selling the old card and buying a new single GPU to replace it.
