What resolution are you playing at? I have a Gigabyte 780 Windforce and with good overclock I can max out everything I have tried at 1080p while staying above 60fps.

780's seem to be going for just under £200 for a used one. So that's how sli will cost or what you can get out of yours for an upgrade

I had been considering the same thing but decided to wait for the next generation of cards
look at some benchmarks and decide for yourself :

you would get from 30 to 40% performance boost over single gtx 780 .
two 780s outperforms single gtx 980 , but the difference is not big (about 10%)
