2000 dollars is a great budget to get a top notch computer, but that extra 300 dollars on a second GeForce 570 is actually going to hurt your, or put you over the 2000 budget to get the same performance as you would without a second card.
Why?
Because the second video card means a few things. You need a HUGE power source, or TWO (meaning you just burnt an extra couple hundred dollars). It also means you need a larger-than-normal case... which might be okay for you, but it gets annoying when it doesn't fit under you desk (I know from experience). You are sacrificing money that could/should be spent on getting a better mobo, higher speed ram, a solid state drive, etc. (<- any of those will have a better, more regularly used payoff than a second video card. Do some research, what CAN'T you run at high levels with that single video card...? nothing probably)
