not at all what resolution are you looking at and if your going for 2 i would be looking at the 4gb models. BF4 @ 1440 ultra is using 2.5-2.8gb of ram already and i know watchdogs will use more let alone future titles. i would opt for the 2gb if you only plan on 1 card and if your gonna run 2 get the 4gb model as the memory is not shared

I will be playing at 1080p. I already have a 2gb gtx 770. Maybe i should wait for an 800 series then? If the newer games are going to use more vram than 2gb, the 770 2gb sli would be pointless?

Even if the i5-4570 did turn out to be a bottleneck, it would still be close to the fastest gaming CPU money can buy short of overclocking so you would have very few other options to go any higher.

An i7 would give you a boost for multi-threaded performance but most games and applications are still heavily dependent on single-threaded performance with relatively little meaningful threading so the i7 rarely has a significant edge on gaming.

if you already have a 2gb i would hold out as long as you can. what frame rates are you looking for anyway. you should be getting more than 60 on most titles now. personally im holding out for a single card or a pair that can do more than 60fps at 4kfor under $1000(its gonna be a long wait) .
