What to do?

What hard drive do you have, and what speed?
If you have 260 sli and unless you play at very high resolutions I would suggest perhaps spending some of the money elsewhere on your system. An ssd would make a sensible consideration.

TBH ye i do wow on ultra is a no no and i'm a wow freak and like all the bells and whistles, thats why i was thinking a 470 and ssd
What's your CPU like? WoW is built upon a fairly CPU intensive engine, even with the Cataclysm graphics which have balanced out the CPU/GPU war a bit, but there's still a lot down the CPU you're using
I don't play WoW but as I understand it, it is a very cpu intensive game (like all multiplayer titles), and even a nice, highly clocked cpu like yours can still struggle in certain areas. A 470 would probably give you higher minimum frame rates and generally smoother gaming without the possibility of any potential sli issues. I think I'm right in saying that a 470 is roughly equivalent to sli 260's, maybe a little under actually, but when overclocked it can draw level. So while a 470 would not probably give 'that' much extra in the way of maximum frame rates, in other respects it would bring some nice benefits.

A 470 and an SSD would be a brill upgrade.
I have this SSD very good and one of the best around for the money:

as for the 470,i would get this personally :

Has a brilliant cooler and a half decent overclock which you can increase more to bring it up to a GTX 480s level.
There are other 470s that are brillant prices, but with the standard reference cooler which will be a lot louder and run hotter than the 470 ive listed.
You could get 2 of these : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-064-GI&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1830
Brilliant coolers on these cards aswell
and still have enough money for the ssd:http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-007-CR&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=910
a 460 sli would be a superb setup,not sure if Catalysm will be optimized for SLI mind?
