I'm stuck in a dilemma with what I should buy, my budget is about £500-600 and I'm looking to upgrade my GPU(s) Right now I have a GTX 680, so should I get another 680/780/2x760. I don't know what I think about having 2 Kepler GPUs when R7/R9 and Maxwell are around the corner.

I'm not sure why exactly you'd need to upgrade in the first place, but if you aren't satisfied with your GTX 680 then it'd be demonstrably stupid for you to replace it entirely. Just SLI your current 680. One 680 is more powerful than 1 GTX 760, and while one 780 is more powerful than one 680, one 780 is not more powerful than two 680's. R7 and R9 may be coming out soon, but do you really think that it'll offer anything that's more powerful than two 680s? Furthermore, Maxwell isn't "right around the corner". Nothing within your budget range would come out until at least May, and even if it came out earlier, the same point still stands as it does for R7 and R9. They're not going to offer anything more powerful than two 680s in SLI.

As Deus said, you already have a powerful set-up and grabbing another 680 would be the obvious solution but if you are worried about micro-stuttering and other issues that SLI can bring I would look into getting an EVGA GTX 780 SC w/ ACX cooler:

http://au.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=03G-P4-2784-KR&family=GeForce%20700%20Series%20Family&sw=

This card is shown to be approx. 5% slower than a TITAN and for $350 less! It is the best bang for buck, it is made by EVGA who are known to have the best customer service for their products and the bearings in the fans have a 12 year life span.

EVGA did not pay me to do this btw for all you trolls, I simply admire this card and I also wish to buy one in the near future hopefully.

Cheers,
Matt :)

P.S. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me!

As others have stated, another 680 would be the most sensible option, that is unless you play at resolutions above 1920x1200, In which case if you don't already have a 4gb 680 it may be worth upgrading to a 780, really up to you though.
