Do I need to upgrade for future games?

sli support is reasonably good.
But there are some issues.
1. Not all games support dual cards, and some do not do it well.
2. You are prone to tearing or stuttering issues where the cards are slightly different and do not render their images in sync.
3. A second card will add 200w or so to your psu requirements.
4. Case cooling becomes more important, particularly for the hotter top card.

All in all, I would opt for a single good card if it will do the job.
You may well need sli of you will be triple monitor gaming, or gaming on a 4k monitor.

Yes, it will definetly get the job done. You have a perfect build here. maybe more than enough just to start

To start I would get 4gb RAM and a R9 270x. you could save some money that we and get high or ultra with better fps.

Yea i can run games on ultra with east after patches on watchdogs maxed i got 50fps then i install the worse mod and played on 30-40. The only thing that frightens me is that on gtx 780 ti's they get 35-40 fps on witcher 3 maxxed

Do not make a small upgrade.
You will be disappointed if you do not see big results.
So long as you can play current games well enough, keep your GTX770.
When new games arrive , or you want more , then it is time to make a bigger jump to a GTX980 class card or even GTX770 sli.
