Further, getting two new Fermi GF104 GTX460's and running them in SLI provides you more GPU horsepower than getting one GF100 GTX480.
If you want to upgrade for SoW I suggest wait until there are some reviews out and it's at least been flown by a good bunch of the community before deciding how to spend your upgrade money.. It could turn out that CPU and RAM is more important than having the highest end GPU.. Who knows?

What I'm getting at is that SLI/Multiple card setups are really only logical for people with multiple monitors or people playing on 30" Dell screens at full resolution. You get more horsepower out of two cards, but you waste a lot of money and efficiency if you're playing on a typical monitor at regular resolutions. If you get the two G460's you spend "x" amount, if you wait 4 months you'll be able to get a card for that same amount or less, that will run the game better (at regular resolution on a single display).
Anyways, I'm going to wait about 6 months after the game is released (buy it on the first day still) and then build my system to play it. Given the way the market goes, waiting 1/2 a year is usually enough for a new flagship line of cards to be released and the previous "front-runners" who can still run the game all maxed out to drop in price dramatically.
When I play SOW I want it to look as good as it possibly can (at 1600x900 resolution).
