the 780 has a 384bit wide memory bus while the 770 has a 256bit wide memory bus. the effective memory fill is much faster on the 780 which is what you will want for a triple monitor setup.

What if I sli and have 2x 770's, I figure it would be better than just the one 780. Im not sure, since im new to this.

the 770s in sli are definitely faster than a 780. although, with extreme overclocking a single 780 can come very close to matching the performance of two reference clocked 770s in sli. but you will need a higher tier motherboard with 2 pcie16x slots and a higher tier power supply with more wattage to power 770s in sli. that all adds up to more money. most would agree that if your really at a crossroads and are not stuck with parts and you have the option, most would want a single 780ti over two 770s in sli as even an average-ish overclock on the 780ti is very close to 770 sli performance without the small sli issues or the need for a premium power supply and motherboard or the extra heat issues.
