I play Wow, CSGO, BF4, and many others like it. My question is if I go with 1 asus 970, would it be worth the extra $340 to go with sli? In games like shadow of mordor, will I see a huge difference rather than just overclocking the gpu?
Here are my other specs:
I5 4690k
Asus z97-a
G.Skill sniper (2x4gb)
Rosewill HIVE 750w
WD Blue 1TB
PNY Optima 256GB SSD
Asus STRIX 970
Any thoughts?

For the current games you're playing, I don't see getting a second card as a justification if you're not going to run higher resolutions. For a game like Shadow of Mordor you'll be fine with one 970. I have a 780 and it runs buttery smooth with all details maxed and textures at 3GB. This is important to note as the 970 is now a card that's close to the 780 (obviously not surpassing it but this stands to show that if I'm getting great frame rates on a "last gen" card, then you'll do absolutely marvelous on a new gen card) Also, the 970 is the sweet spot for 1080 and MAYBE some 1440p with all details maxed in almost all games.
In short, no. No need for SLI my friend
just do some overclocking if you feel you want some extra performance! (Plus it's free!)
