Currently I am running a:
XFX Double D FX-795A-TDFC Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5

I am thinking of switching TWO:
ASUS GTX760-DC2OC-2GD5 GeForce GTX 760 2GB 256-bit GDDR5
My question is, do you think this is a smart decision, as in will I see an increase in performance on games? Also if someone would be willing to help me figure out if my PSU will actually run these 2 GPUs and everything else, I have a 750 Watt 80+ Gold, if you could link me to a nice calculator or what not anything is greatly appreciated!

Well, you'd be going from 7950 performance, all the way to more performance than a Titan.

I did nearly exactly the same thing and don't regret it at all, love my two 760s now, I wonder if they'll stack up well against an R9-290X though! (Will still be much better price/performance though)

Also, on the PSU front, you'll be absolutely fine. I'm running 2 on a Corsair TX650 (Bronze rated) and I've got enough headroom for overclocking, you'll be absolutely fine mate :)

If I understood correctly, you want to switch from an HD 7950 to a GTX 760.
If that`s the case, the increase in performance you might see is not worth the money.
If it`s a direct switch with someone else, than sure, go for it.

If you want to buy the GTX 760, I`d recommend you ro wait until the R9 series from AND are released, and should get something more powerfull for your money.

Ok, great to get advice from someone who has actually done the almost exact same switch, do you think I should look at any other GPUs because I am looking to kind of give my build a little more of a bang! That I don't have to upgrade for a year or so. :D

Why not just get another 7950? Would be cheaper and still get great performance, overclock them to 7970 levels if your cooling is good enough. But if you really wanted to move away from the 7950 I recommend getting the strongest single GPU solution you can afford right now so you can go SLI/Crossfire in the future, just my two cents.
