    Is 2gb of Graphics Ram good for modern games?

    your card would still play at 1080p or lower, but would still sometimes hit over 2gb. It looks like you have a laptop for gaming. You will lose a bunch of graphic visuals and eye candy with the 960m(2gb), but it is still some what playable depending on the games you have.

    GTX 970 SLI vs. GTX 1080

    atm the 970 sli is in between the performance of 980 ti and 1080. unless your games run on more vram or you have issues with sli. I personally would not upgrade until 1080ti or the new titan (if they ever make one).

    GPU Buying Advice

    If I was in your position, I would get the gtx 970 sli. The reason is the pure performance of the two graphics cards can rival against a titanx, but the only thing lacking is the vram. With this set up you can max every game on ur list but gta v. you can only max out performance and entry msaa...

    Will i5 4690k bottleneck gtx 980 ti sli?

    Well it depends on the games your playing. If ur just looking for some single player game like Metro Last Light. A late i5 and higher would be efficient, but if ur playing a game that requires lots or physics aspect like battle field 4 or planetside 2. Then a i7 or an entry level x99 platform...
