Im getting a new MoBo , and i was thinking about the possibility about my actual CPU ( i5 3330) handling 2x 770's .... already have a PSU that can handle it !

Well I would think one 770 should be enough actually for just one monitor at 1080p although that's entirely a preference.

If you really want a better CPU to complement your two 770s then I would get a 3570k and give it a healthy overclock. If you are looking to get a new motherboard then I would get a 1150 socket motherboard and a i5 4670k and then I would overclock the 4670k.

Two 770s is a huge amount of GPU power and the 3330 would almost certainly limit them in certain games. The K series i5 or i7 series would be ideal for such a setup.

However that being said, there would be no issues running the cards just a bit of a loss of potential.
