I am upgrading my old dual SLI GTX 680 to the newer GTX 970 in SLI.

I read that the 970 SLI gives you the biggest bang for the buck.

How much more overall performance should I see with my upgrade?

Also, I am giving my brother my two GTX 680's for him to use. Right now he has two antiquated Radeon HD 5870's in SLI.

Yeah I wouldnt bother with the 980 SLI, as its a lot more money for not much more performance, 970 SLI is a sweet spot.

No, you 3770k is still top tier, will work fine with them.

What about if I upgraded to two GTX 980's instead of two 970's?

There is only a 10% performance difference between the two. Would it be worth the extra $400?

My Core i7 3770K @4.0 GHz wouldn't bottleneck those cards, would they?
