GTX 560TI (Single/SLI) VS R9 270X ?

CPU:AMD Phenom 965BE @3.4Ghz
10Gb DDR3 Ram 1333mhz
300gb Intel DC S3500 Series (boot drive)
2TB HDD 5900rpm , 1TB HDD 7200rpm, 500gb HDD 7200rpm.
MOBO MSI 970a-g46
GFX: MSI Twin Frozr 560 ti
PSU: Corsair Cx 750m
 
Will it be worth it to replace my current 560ti for a r9 270x ? OR should I get another 560ti and have them in SLI ?
The thing is that may find or I may not find another same card (I get mine for $100 usd) and this r9 270 will cost me about $170.
 
My other option would be just spent about $100-$110 and get a h100i as water cooling solution for my cpu , right now I have a hyper 212+ in push-pull setup with 40-60 deg. in idle (its summer  where I live and its pretty hot. ) consider that I also own 2 SP120 corsair fans.
 
Let me know what you think.
Thank You.

SLIing low end cards to match the performance of a mid tier? Doesn't make much sense to me. And besides, the r9 270 really does seem to be the price/performance sweet spot at the moment.

If you can find another 560 ti for cheap, go for it. You're going to be taking a loss on selling yours anyway

the performance gains from SLi the 560Ti might not be justified

 

yes you may be selling at a loss for the current GPU but the R9 270/X will be a good investment when you finally have the budget to change the CPU and Mobo

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.
