it would probably beat a GTX 275, at least in good sli optimized games. i know that there are several systems out there running two 9800 GTX+'s and they occasionally beat a GTX 280, or 285. And a GTS 250 is just a repackaged 9800 GTX+. So i would say, yes, it would be at least equivalent to a GTX 275, but that all depends on the rest of your system. But it all looks pretty good to me.

If your CPU can push SLI, SLI GTS250's are about the equal of a GTX285, winning in some games and losing in others.

Edited: Just saw your sig. You will propbably need to OC some to get the best of those in SLI.

I would recommend you wait seven weeks to do *anything* involving a GPU. The full ATI line-up is getting announced in San Francisco then... so not only will prices on current cards fall, but you may wind up changing your mind on what card you'd like to get.

Yes, there are ways to wire two PSUs together such that they both turn on when you start your system up.
