What should I get for upcoming build?

[Aknosis]

I'm currently running a EVGA GTS250 1GB and I'm going to shove it into my new build, but I'm noticing that they (same GTS250 Model) are getting harder to find at a respectable price.

I'm debating getting another one to run SLI or should I look into say trading in my GTS250 towards a GTX260 or something simlar (roughly $200, I'm not opposed to used stuff) I'm not sure if now is the right time to buy a GTX because of the Fermi release... will the GTX's price go down or the cards just magically disappear from shelves... I haven't been following prices until recently.

I don't want to run ATI because I want the option to run SLI if I only upgrade to a single card for now.

Thoughts?

I see GTS250's running for about $150 or $140 before rebate and about $120 or $130 after.

A single GTX 260 is at least $70 or $80 more right now due to scarcity.

Fermi cards are going to come in price wise at points much higher than this so I would recommend you get another GTS250 and SLI if you can. Then skip over the GTX260 and get a Fermi later this fall when the midrage versions come out.

Yeah, the GTX260 won't come down in price, as prices have gone up as availability has declined.
