i am thinking about upgrading my 19 inch monitor to a 24 inch one

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824014169

i use my computer for gaming, so i will be gaming at 1920x1200 on games like battlefield 2, age of conan, and hellgate london.

now, for my question. will my 8800gt sli setup suffice, or should i go with a gtx260 or 9800gx2?

if my video card setup is fine, i could always upgrade to an even bigger monitor, or maybe get that soundcard and surround sound speakers that i have been looking at (or maybe a headset for the soundcard, cause im in a apartment)

if you guys need my rig requirements to factor in, they are

q6600 at 3.0ghz
750i FTW
Corsair 550w psu
4gb of memory
 
i would upgrade to a 4870 as your card may struggle with the higher resolution and its better than the gtx260 for the same price
 
now if i get a 4870, i wont be able to run two of them at the same time on my motherboard. will one be that much better than my 2 8800gt in sli?
 
8800GT SLI will suffice for 1920x1200 gameplay with the exception of Crysis of course. So get the monitor and then see for yourself if 8800GT SLI is good enough for you.
 
oh i didnt notice you had a sli mobo im not entirely sure how those games scale sli but i personally prefer a single card solution so you dont have to deal with scaling, microstuttering, etc. issues
