I'd heavily suggest looking at the benchmarks in this review - there's no reason to get a Titan on this budget: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_770_sli_review,1.html

Sli and crossfire may cause problems. and if i were completley new i wouldnt take the risk, and he is completley new.
but if you disagree then sure 2 770's but i would take the Asus 770 DC2

You are right that is a gamble, especially on AMD setups more than NVIDIA. But when it comes to the difference between the 770 SLI setup and the Titan, the numbers are very, very similar.
