Time to upgrade??

[TBirdUK]

Hi all, need some advice.

I have about £200-£250 for xmas and want to upgrade to play BF3.

My machine is a Intel 6600 Quad (not overclocked but will be)
Mobo - I have both SLI and XFire capable
4GB RAM

Currently running 2 x 8800GTX in SLI - this is where I want to upgrade.

What should I go for - would like to triple screen if possible but am happy to go single, dual cards in any format, even wait a while - whats the best route, mate has said go for a 6950 2GB and run single screen then buy another when the price drops, someone else said to go SLI 560Ti now - any advice?

Wait for the next gen of cards. 8800GTX SLI will tide you over until then

Wait, new cards should be here soon (crosses fingers), as for display, more than 1 monitor will require some real graphics horsepower to get decent fps, especially with all the eye-candy.

when and what are the new cards - not been able to research much recently?

I agree with cleeecooo (as usual sometimes)... wait until the new cards come out...
