The R9 280 or 280x would be a much much much better option for you. The 280 is equal to the 960 for $40 less, and the 280x is roughly equal to the 770 for the same price as the 960. The 770 is EOL so they are really expensive unless you find a used one.

A crossfire R9 280x would make a single HD 7990. I would want to try that out. 6gb of VRAM here, it is far more ideal then SLI GTX 770.

2GB is not enough to game comfortably at 1440p and would be pretty terrible at 4k. I've seen a GTX690 average 120fps in every game at 1080p, struggle at 1440p, and barely even run games at 4k.

Intel no longer makes the GTX770 so it's harder to find and overpriced when you do find it.

You can buy TWO R9 280 for $329

Two 280s would outperform a single GTX970 for the same price.
