For what it's worth, I'd personally sell the 460 and put it towards bringing the cost of your rig down. I done a little comparison
here for you of the 460 in sli in comparison to a 6970 to show you the difference in what you'll get. The sli will give you slightly better performance at a cost of power and a bit more heat and will maybe save you £70. I personally would go with what I've listed here though:

Chucked in a decent air cooler there and a 30GB SSD for you to load windows and your main programmes onto. The 6950 you have to flash to make it a 6970 but there's plenty of info on these forums on how to do it.
