So I ordered one of these korean IPS screens and am sitting with a limited remaining budget and despite getting excellent frames in BF3 currently, the new screen will be 2x the resolution.
My GTX 560 does well, I got it boxing day and could spend $200 to upgrade, but I dont think Im going to get much more.
I dont know much about going to high res and SLi, but would spending $120 on a second GTX560 for SLi help? I know SLi helps in some situations and not others.
I assume my biggest hurdle with the bigger screen is vram?
 
If 120 is your budget then yes getting a 2nd 560 would help. Other then that I would save a little more & sell your existing card & order a 670. Would probably be about 80 bucks more then your budget allows assumeing you get 120 for your 560.
 
Don't get another 560.

Sell it and either get 7950, 7970, 670, or 680 for bf3. For the 7950 & 7970 it would help if you overclocked these.
 
Personally I would sell the 560 and get a hd 7850 and overclock the hell out of it. It won't let you max games out but will let you run them pretty high plus plenty of vram and no multicard issues. Or maybe find a good deal on a used 7950. Saw a couple of them go for $300 recently.
