Decision on Video Card?

Alright well first let me start off by saying I don't have that much money and I got scammed $200. So keep in mind I'm trying to get the most bang for my buck.

Now I made this build back in 2011, and it was a pretty nice build back then. Ran pretty well.

Specs:
  • CPU - i5 2500k
  • GPU - GTX 550ti (asus 900mhz I think)
  • Ram - 4GB x 1, 1GB x 1 (both at 1330mhz)
  • Mobo - asus pro p9p67


Now the only reason I bring up my mobo is because it doesn't support pci-e 3, only 2. Now pci-e 3 will work but slower... so that's something to keep in mind.

I was thinking about buying another gtx 550ti and setting up sli. Or buying a gtx 660. Obviously 660ti will perform better, but it's a higher price. and the dual sli gtx 550ti will reach vram limit on 1080p.

So basically I have this:

  1. Dual sli gtx 550ti, running with more power (I have 600w), cheaper price
  2. 1 gtx 660, running with less power, losing some of the speed (pci-e 3), more expensive


So which do you think I should go with?
