So I have the 680 I ordered last year running on my desktop right now and I would have gotten another 680 to SLI with it but my motherboard does not support SLI and I do not feel like going through the hassle of getting a new motherboard since this one I have already works well enough and I don't want to unscrew everything again just for SLI.

I was wondering if going from a 680 to 780 is worth it for $700? I could spend $1000 and get a Titan but I'm not willing to spend $1000+ just for a graphics card. Or should I wait for the next generation? The 680 runs most games from 2012-2013 fine on Ultra at 60 FPS but with a new generation of games on the PS4/Xbox one platform coming out I want to keep updated.

Don't get a Titan. A factory overclocked GTX 780 is every bit as fast as a Titan for $350 less. If you are able to sell both of your 680's, then I could see the 780 be a worthy upgrade for relatively little money, maybe even money, depending on how much you get for your 680's.
