Current rig:

MSI Z68A-GD80 (sandy bridge)
I5-2500k @ 4.2Ghz (1155)
16g DDR3
PNY GTX 770 OC (VCGGTX7704XPB-OC)
Cooler Master 1000w psu, SLI certified.

It's weird. The price is the same for another PNY 770 or a ASUS STRIX GTX 970 4gb.

So the question is, will two 770's out-perform one 970? It almost seems like a no-brainer to get the 970.

 
Solution
Of course get one GTX 970! It is only like 20% weaker (At worst) but will never have SLI issues. LOL it will also use a third of the energy. Consider an R9 290 though too.
