I have a i5-4440 @ 3.10 gHz boost @ 3.3 gHz CPU and a GTX 760. I'm thinking to upgrade to GTX 760 SLI. Will the CPU bottleneck them?
 
Solution
No the 770 struggles to keep above 60fps when maxxed in current games at 1080p. Ideally a 780 would be best bet but if you already own a 760 go ahead and slap on another and rock on.
Best is if do CF with R9 270X cheap and fast. Only negative thing is that it needs lot power. So it needs big PSU.
Faster than 770 /780 and lot cheaper.

And like others have told CPU is not issue.

SLI 760's are faster than 780 so it is not bad idea.

No sli has advantages for normal gaming. 760 sli outperforms a titan.
Its a great way to go and i have the same gpus/cpu as you and i can play games like gta 4 and watch dogs at 1440p ultra settings at 60 fps
