Hello my fellow pc brothers, i have a question for you all. When I first built my current build about six months ago, I decided to cheap out and use a gtx 750ti i found cheap on craigslist(about $60usd) just as a place holder until I was ready to upgrade. Well, I'm getting ready to upgrade since the 750ti has a difficult time running games at higher quality at 1080. I found a set of 2 gtx 770 4gb for $250usd used on craigslist. I was curious if it would be better to wait until pascal rolled out or if I should go ahead and jump on the sli 770s? I would have to upgrade my Psu to run sli 770s.

depends on how "easy" money is for you,
considering you would not only have to spend 250$on teh gpus alone then the new psu, you should consider if its worth it, versus just spending the 250 or 1 cheap 970 that should last a couple of years, and save the money on the psu upgrade

there is a decent chance pascal reviews will be out some time in may, how long the actual release to follow is is uncertain

the question you should ask yourself is:
can you "endure" your 750 ti for a minimum 3 months until the earliest speculated pascal release?
do you "need" sli 770s vs 1 970or even 960 even? 1 card = no psu upgrade even, money saved.
what games do you run that desperately need teh sli 770s, that 1 900 series card cant do at 1080p?

maybe...

maybe revisit your 770 sli plan again in may when the reviews of pascal are out? might easier for you to decide by then?
