I am planning to buy new computer, but is it worth buying GTX 770 with SLI support or just buy GTX 770 and in the future swap with better GPU?
 
Solution
First make sure you have a power supply that can handle two of those strong cards. I would just get the one card now; if you can afford sli now, why not just get a 780 btw? Anyhow, if the 770 goes on sale later then you can always get a second one right? You can enjoy most games on maximum settings with the 770 if you are on a single hi def setup already. Unless you are using ultra 4k hd and or multi-monitors then you don't really need sli to run most games at maxed out graphics settings.

Grab you a second 770 and a benQ or asus 120hz+ monitor and sli the 770 then rock on at 100fps+. A single 770 will max newer games but you will run into fps drops if you play games like bf4 online in bigger servers like 64player servers. During heavy fights or big maps with lots going on you will see drops into the low 60's, 50's and possibly 40's. It all just depends what kind of gaming you do.
