What is your monitor's resolution?

I can't imagine triple SLI 280s is struggling in any games yet?

Why worry about it? If triple SLI 280s can still crush anything that's out yet then you aren't behind and there's no need to go spending hundreds/thousands on upgrading yet.

I'd wait at least until the next generation of ATI or Nvidia cards come out, which shouldn't be too much longer (ATI's 6000 series is expected soon).
