The GTX 770 on sli seems really good but the 780ti being so awesome i wanted that to. But Im not sure what to get. Btw only one 780 ti, Im not allowed to go over $1500. I can get a another 780 ti over a year after saving up... but then i can also buy 2 770 right now...?
 
Solution
for me i'll say get 780ti and wait till next year if you will save not to mention with the coming GPU the ti will decrease it price

you don't want 770 sli that most likely u will change it in one year or maybe less ,, good luck

Get the 780 Ti you will get a 100% performance all of the time compared to variable performance scaling of sli. You will also not have any of the problems associated with sli, as well as being quieter and cooler.

I'd say go with the 770 SLI now. When Maxwell comes out with the equivalent cards (the 870 cards), you can sell the 770s, pay a little bit more on top, and then have another set of high performance cards, meaning your rig always stays ahead of the curve. Hell, I do that with two mid/high range cards each year the next gen cards come out, might as well, only another £30-£50 to pay, and I've always got more graphics power than a single top of the line card.

Never understood the "get a single card now, get a second one much later" approach, because you'd be buying the second card while the next generation comes out, instead of actually upgrading TO the next generation.

Yeah Im 13 and Ive never build a computer before... I dont get that much pocket money either...
 
but the 780ti is a better stronger solution than buying a weaker card now only to sli it. Buy the strongest one now then once prices come down a bit sli THAT one powerful card. The 770sli is 2 steps down from the 780ti. Plus once you sli the 770 thats pretty much it you cant do anything else and tri sli wouldnt be worth it. Buy the single strongest now then another one 6 months or so later then you have a very powerful setup. Sli 770 will show weaker sooner than 780ti's will in the next say 2 years. Thats like saying buy the v6 truck model instead of the v8 even though you might need the extra power from the v8 later on. Better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Whats so hard to understand about that?

LOL,780ti is better then 770 and even cheaper. So why the hell he don't get 780ti now,and then sell that card and buy new generation card? Your post don't make sense.

Buy a 780 ti since its more futureproof and u can SLI it later on. And then just sell the 770. Plus $1500 is just enough to buy 2 780ti's if you're baller enough ;). Say you went with the 770 SLI's. Couple months down the line an 800 series card will comeout and you will feel bad that you didnt at least get the 780ti...am i right?

Well,770 have better perfomance/price ratio. So maybe it is best to go with 770,and then well 8xx comes he can buy one of those,or sli with 770 which is cheaper. Also in sli 780 is just a little bit better,not more then 15%. Also gtx 780ti has better price perfomance ratio.
