Upgrading current system with a 2k budget.

I recently have reached my saving standpoint of $2k and i want to spend it to upgrade my current system to be able to play some of the games i play on a larger resolution, and i want to future proof myself against some of the newer titles.
I spent a lot of my time raiding on World of Warcraft, which i have average fps on the highest settings, 30 fps in populated areas.

This is my current system's specifications, for reference:
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-GD65
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670
CPU: I5 3570K
SSD: Force Series 3 60GB SATA 3 6Gb/s Solid-State Hard Drive
RAM: 4gb x2 Corsair Vengeance DDR3 + 4GB x2 Corsair Vengeance LP DDR3 1.35V
PSU: Strike X power supply, 800W
Case: Coolermaster HAF XB (windowed top panel version)

I have no extra cooling other than what came with the case and CPU. I use a wireless dongle to connect to the internet via a router in the next room, but i don't think it's much of an issue.

I would like a multiple screen setup, i currently run a 1920x1080 screen along with a slightly smaller screen, nothing particulary impressive. Maybe a screen and GPU upgrade.

I would like some advice on what would be the best upgrade for my warcraft gaming performance, and then performance for other games. New screens at a higher resolution would be nice.

WoW is one of those games that will run on a toaster, but not even a high-end PC can completely max out, but look into another 670, that'll help all your games including WoW.

I can't really recommend you any more meaningful upgrades other than another screen or two, you've got a great system already.

If i am going to SLI 770's, would my power supply be able to handle this, let alone have enough connections? I myself am unsure.
Here's the link with a few more details on the PSU:
