It all depends on what you use it for.
For gaming I'd definitely say go for the SLI.
Basically I created my computer a while back and am still in the process of tweaking it what should I do?
I got $80 atm but I could get more, should I get a SSD or SLI my 560ti?
Already ordered my Corsair H55 should be coming in tomorrow.

As a starter I might want to fix my cable management.

You were seeking strength, justice, splendour.
You were seeking love.
Here is the pit, here is your pit.
Its name is Silence..
The SLI would be the way to go in my opinion.
Im going against the flow here.
Because the 560Ti only has 1Gb of vram you will be severely limited on your performance in higher end games. I would go for a good ssd instead. A ssd makes your machine feel so much less sluggish while generally doing stuff on your computer.

You may want to save up for a better CPU cooler. Idk how hot your CPU runs right now but it always helps to have less stress on it (keep it alive longer, etc).

Ok here is a little description of what running out of vram does to your gaming performance. Many people think that if they get sli they double there vram. This is true in a sense nut the thing is that both gpu's load the exact same pictures meaning that you have double copies. This means in reality you only have as much effective vRAM as one of your cards. When you play for example battlefield 3 and you put up the texture resolution you increase the size of the texture files of course. When your vRAM is filled with textures your computer starts to look for other places to store textures. First it will check the ram. If you have a sufficient amount of ram it will store the textures in ram. The issue is ram is so much slower than vram, Making your fps drop to about 10. If you don't have enough ram it will even start paging to the hdd making you wonder if you are playing or watching screenshots.
I have experience of this issue since i ran double 6870's before. In speed they matched or even outperformed a 7970, problem was that they only had 1gb of vram making me unable to go higher than high on bf3.
First of all, fix your cable management, your computer hates you right now.
Second, get an SSD, it'll last you a lot longer than a second 560ti. Instead, start saving up for a completely new single-high end card. This'll get you much better performance than an additional 560ti.

Go with the SLI, and this wouldn't happen to be a z11 case would it?
