Money is not an issue.

Go for the 780Ti, I ran 2 770 (4gb) in SLI for awhile then switched over to a 780Ti, difference is night and day, plus not having to deal with the SLI issues in various games as well as the heat generated from SLI.

What do you mean by "night & day" difference? According to many reviews, like this one: http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_770_sli_review,20.html, sual 770's in SLI smoke the 780 ti.

That article you referenced doesn't even have the 780 Ti in the benchmark. Not sure if you mistook another card for the 780 Ti, or maybe don't realize that the 780 and 780 Ti are different cards, but the 780 Ti wasn't included in the benchmark as far as I saw.

What he may be referring to though, as far as night and day, could be things such as some problems that running in SLI can cause, while they won't occur with a single card. Things like micro-stuttering, etc. These problems can plague many games, when using SLI, and some games just have very poorly optimized SLI, and some do not even support SLI at all. So, in the case of those games, the 780 Ti would vastly outperform a 770 SLI setup.
