I bought two of these graphics cards. I have put one in my system so far and kept the other one boxed. The current graphics are good for everything I currently play. I have a 600W stealth extreme OCZ PSU. Do I need to get a new PSU? I know I would need a new motherboard to install this second card in SLi. I bought two because they were on sale and I knew I wanted to go SLi at the time but now I am doubting it.

Is it worth it to buy a new mobo, possibly a new PSU to run this SLi or should I just return it and get my $240 back?
 
You would definitely need a new PSU and mobo. What are your stats now? :) (stats /= A/S/L or waist/bust size- only talking PC stats here)
What resolution do you game at? What games do you play?
 
You can give the second one to me since my GTX 260 Black Ed. is off for RMA... :p

lol just kidding, but you really can give it to me!
 
The way I see it is upgrading your mobo and PSU is a waste of money. Apparently you dont' have a I7 mobo so buying another 775 mobo so you can SLI a video card that isn't top of the line model (not saying it isn't good, but its not the best) is kind of a waste.

My suggestion is return the card or buy a new I7 920/Mobo/6 megs DDR3 Ram/PSU/whatever else you need if you can't use good old parts and SLI'ing. Just decide if you really need that much power right now.
 
Pretty sure that OCZ 600W doesn't even have 4x 6-pin for dual GTX 275s.
