Hey everyone,
thanks for your help and time.

I sold my "old" EVGA GTX 770 Dual SC 4GB so I'm looking for a new GPU.

My roof is USD 800. So, searching in Amazon, I found that I can buy 2 EVGA GTX 770 Dual SC 4GB for USD 820 but also there's some EVGA GTX 780 SC Classified around USD 750.

What do you recommend me to do? My actual rig is the following (with Asus Sabertooth Z87):

Thanks again.
 
A single GTX 770 SC can reach your max FPS (60) at that resolution using Ultra settings in every game that is out right now.

You are purchasing performance that can't currently be delivered to you until you upgrade your display to a higher resolution(1440p+) or a higher refresh rate(120Hz-144Hz).

Now that the obvious is out of the way, I am a fan of single GPU setups.
 

I forget to mention that I'm choosing between this two opportunities because I'm from Argentina, South America and I'm traveling to US this week. I can't buy any of informatic stuff in my country because is too much expensive, so I upgrade my rig as much as I can in long-term.
I understand that probably is not the best way to upgrade it, because it would be more beneficial to buy a SSD, but I will in my next trip, besides that I'm planning to buy a 4K display.
