Default upgrade: 2nd GTS for SLI, or GTX or ultra before SLI?
I have a rather sweet rig at the moment, but I still long for more power. I am wondering which would be the logical choice, seeking the input of the wise. Should I look for the long term, replacing the GTS 320mb with a GTX(or more likely, ultra) or go for more bang for buck, and throw another GTS in for SLI formation. Thoughts?

8800GTS 320 SLI is stronger than a single GTX in most games and benchmarks

Go for the SLI configuration, you have a very good power supply you should be able to handle it.
