I'm building a computer for a friend at 2560x1600. ATM, it looks like the best bang-for-buck GPU at that resolution is the GTX770. I'm currently planning to get him one 770, and then grab another one in a year or so to SLI.

I've been reading lots of posts saying that 4GB is great for multi-monitor setup, and 2GB is great for gaming at 1080p. How about in my friend's situation of 2560x1600? Keep in mind that he does intend to SLI in the future.

Get a GTX 780 which is a better choice for your friend's case. The single GTX 770 isn't enough for a 2560x1600. Your friend can't go above med-high at best in modern games like FC3 , Crysis 3 , Last Light , etc. You should definitely opt for a GTX 780 of your choice or a GTX 760 with 4GB memory leading to a 2GB per GPU.
Also what is the budget for the rest of the rig ? Maybe by striping something down I can add the GTX 780 or GTX 760 SLI.

For now 2gb is enough but it will be safe to get a 4gb cz of new gen of consoles new games may cross 2gb. 780 is not a good bang for buck 770 sli is way better. For sli u need tx850
