Another reason to go for ATI :P (650W is plenty for a couple of 5770's)

It would be absurdly stupid to try to set up SLI with GTX 250s.  Not only can we safely assume he'd need a new motherboard to do it, it's now barely more expensive to buy single cards which would outperform dual GTX 250s, such as a GTX 275 or HD4870.

And why the hell are they still selling these rebadged 8800GTs?  They're now 4 fucking generations old.

I bought a single 260 a while ago, my friend was upgrading so he sold it to me for $70. 

Also, the 260 is superior to the 4870.  Maybe you are referring to 5xxx series?
