Yeah that'd be the right thing to do. It looks okay for a reasonably basic gaming computer. Should be good for media and home computing though.

SLi usually decreases performance, it only increases in certain games under certain conditions and isn't worth it.

It doesn't decrease performance at all, you just see no-difference unless your playing a game that utilizes both efficiently. However within the year there are rendering tools for Adobe Premier which will allow you to render with CPU's and GPU's (video editing rendering), and it will be insanly good to have SLi if thats what your looking at.
