I would say just the single 680 considering your CPU in your sig rig. You also have no mention of what resolution you plan to play games at either.

A single 680 will be more than enough for a single 1080p monitor

I have my 2500 @ 3.8ghz with 2xGTX 570's in SLI and I am not noticing any bottleneck at all with my scores. I love my SLI setup so the 680 SLI option would be what I would choose.

Ya......I've been told by some that my CPU will bottleneck two 680 s , and some say that it won't be noticable....so I'm not sure just thought I would ask to see which card set up to go with....

The monitor will be the bottleneck, unless you require it to be running 120FPS.
Actually, do you need any additional speed from your GTX 570 SLI? I'd expect that you can max out just about every game at that res.

I would think 570 SLI is more than enough if that's what you already have. Any particular reason you're upgrading now? I would go for an SLI 660ti configuration when those come out in a few weeks. The SLI setup would only cost about $500, and would still be an upgrade. That being said, SLI 570s is a heck of a setup as it is.
