Ebay your 250 and get a single 460, an EVGA GTX 460 is about $170.00 new. You will get a little better performance from one 460 than using sli'ed 250's.

Sounds like good advice from Tuhoa.
Also, I'm not impressed with sli. I've tried it with different graphics cards and the performance isn't increased by much and sometimes may even decrease the output. This is my opinion and
not meant to take away from the fun of setting up SLI. It is good experience.
Another note: Just because a series is a higher number doesn't necessarily mean it is better. Check out the specs first and compare.
pricewatch.com is a good site to show new prices. I wouldn't recommend getting the gpu as stock overclocked model.
As far as used prices I don't like to box up parts and mail them. Call me weird.
