7900 GT OC BFG

I wanted to add a 2nd 7900 GT OC BFG. Would this help me? I don't want to lay down the dough for a new 880gtx.. This new card will only cost me 160$ I play every kind of game. My panels native rez is 1680x1050. Would 2 7900 GT OC BFG support games at the rez? Would I be future proofed at all? Is this a good idea? I am about to buy the 2nd card and sli it.
 
I really think selling the first and getting a 8800 GTS 640 is way better.
 
Yeah go for the 8800 GTS 640 it will be much faster then 2 of them and you will be ready for DX10 game's when they do come out... I didn't really buy my 8800 GTS 640 for DX10 just for faster fps and being able to run everything on high at 1600X1200 the 8800 card's are awesome I could not believe how fast they are compared to my old X1800XT 512 it is about 2 time's as fast.. So yeah I agree go with the 8800 and if you need to SLI 2 of them I have heard tho that it does not make that big of a difference when in SLI but I have never done it so I am only going buy what everyone say's.
