Hello. I am upgrading my desktop components, and right now I have the ASUS GeForce GTX 760 DCII OC Edition. And I want to improve my performance. So, I am buying an ASUS Maximus VI Hero for 2-way SLI and a good PSU for SLI. So I am ready for SLI and power consumption isn't a problem for me. 2 GTX 760 in SLI show better results than 780, but 780's price was dropped recently. So, another 760 or a GTX 780? I may be thinking of buying another gtx 780 for sli.

If you had a 770 I might say yes, but I think I would go with an EVGA factory Superclocked (1007 base) 780 TI, over two 760s. The card will have a better cooler than the standard 780 TI.
You have a fine CPU, and plenty of power for 2 760s, but I think the 780 TI would be the best buy for the long term, and you only need one.
You can always add another later, but there are diminishing returns for adding more and more GPUs, and you will probably wish you had bought the 780 TI.
The 760 is a fine GPU for sure, but a factory Superclocked 780 TI is awesome.
