Thank for taking the time to read this. I was wondering I currently have a gtx 760 graphics card. I want to get better performance I am trying to save up for a msi gtx780 lightning is this card worth it or is there a cheaper way like sli to get better performance. If you have a ny other gpu suggestions for me $750 aud than that would be fab
Thanks

An important side note. Unless you have the 4GB model of the 760 you would be wasting money on SLI, as it would be limited to 2 GB of Vram.
At one monitor a single 760 is plenty, a single card is typically better to use than SLI. If you have to upgrade now SLI. If you can wait, wait.

I would wait and get a 780 ti, it's always better to run single card if you can and if you are gearing towards the lighting just save your money and wait a little longer. SLI is cool and all but you will get cooling issues and the technology is not perfect, the performance increase you would get from getting a single 780 ti would be better than running two 760's in SLI.

what exact name pof the power supply if it's xfx core edition pro 650w than you're fine as long as you don't overclock anything
