Hi all this is my first post.
As you can see in my profile the specs of my pc i really would like any assistance in choosing the right gpu for this system. I have no probs with the GTX 295 but as some know its EOL and no DX11.

I have never run sli before and know that i can at a later stage(G1 Sniper 3 Killer G-mobo). Would it be beneficial for me to do that? Im sure that would mean i can buy a not so expensive gpu and add one later.
I need to know two things:

1) If i have to buy one gpu which one is suitable for this system config(prob more expensive). I need no bottlenecks. I was thinking of the GTX 760.

2) If I want to go sli later(if at all beneficial pls tell me) would something like the GTX 760 work well Sli mode? Meaning no bottlenecks later if i do upgrade ;) 

This is the comparison between the GTX 295 and the GTX 760 (identical...dx11 i know)

Any help would do and comments in this regard would do me well!!

Gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 killer gaming motherboard
Intel i7 3770 CPU
Nivida GTX295 GPU
Seagate 1TB Harddrive
Corsair 16GB 1600MHz RAM
Corsair GS800W PSU
Corsair E-Atx chassis
LG Blu-ray writer
24 INCH LG Flatron

Getting GTX-760 would be huge step from GTX-295! and it works in SLI perfectly!
But I'd recommend you GTX-770 for it's price it's better card than GTX-760!

uh your GTX295 already working in SLI. if SLI are not working the performance it is much more like a single GTX275

anyway what is your full system spec? GTX760 definitely faster than your GTX295. right now GTX295 is about equivalent to GTX750 Ti

yes 760 is a good upgrade, its 50% better than ur GTX295. Dont use those hwcompare, they are theoretical comparisons and mean nothing.

Ahmadjon Thanx for that tip!
I have to say the 770 looks better though it consumes more power. So the PSU would not be a problem if i want to add another 770 ?

GTX295 is dual gpu like GTX690. it is "SLI on a single PCB" card.

To OP - If you are considering SLI, don't forget to get the GTX 760/770 4GB version.

Those gpus looks very mean. The 4Gb ones. I am really impressed by the great info I received thus far. Really broadens my perception and gives me great options.
Im really so thankfull right now guys.

You should be fine with SLI of GTX-770, you have GS-800 and it's good PSU for two GTX-770's, recommended is 850W but you'll be just fine with 800W http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page362.htm It also has enough 6+2pin cables!
BTW I also have GS PSU but mine is GS-700!
