Gtx 770 straight or gtx 760 and later add another one?

Title says it all. Is it better to take gtx 770 or to go with gtx 760 and in year-1,5 add another 760?

The 770 is about 20% higher in performance than the 760. 760 SLI will be better in a situation if you were to play in multi monitor set up. I would go with the 770 if you are planning to play in a single monitor.

If you have the money go for the 770, and if necessary add another of those down the line. They will only drop in price.

I think you should go with a single 770 GPU upgrade.
Advantage of single higher end GPU than two low end GPU's in crossfire/SLI :
1) No microstutter below 30 fps. (they are very irritating)
2) Reduced load on PSU.
3) Guaranteed performance improvement in all SLI/cfx and non-SLI/non cfx gaming titles.

Also, 770 is 19% stronger in performance than the 760. It turns a bit weaker in front of 760 SLI in SLI supporting titles but still has advantages of a single GPU. Even before SLI-ing, you'd miss the quality 1080p gaming exp. on 770. Try getting hands on the 4GB version of GTX 770, it would work fine on your dual monitor setup.

Lets compare.
GTX 770 vs GTX 760 (current performances)
In terms of overall gaming performance, the graphical capabilities of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 are noticeably better than the Nvidia GeForce GTX 760.The GeForce GTX 770 has a 66 MHz higher core clock speed and 32 more Texture Mapping Units than the GeForce GTX 760. This results in the GeForce GTX 770 providing 39.8 GTexel/s better texturing performance.The GeForce GTX 770 has 1024 MB more video memory than the GeForce GTX 760, so is likely to be much better at displaying game textures at higher resolutions.The GeForce GTX 770 has 32 GB/sec greater memory bandwidth than the GeForce GTX 760, which means that the memory performance of the GeForce GTX 770 is noticeably better than the GeForce GTX 760.

Therefore, 770 as single GPU must be choosen.

Then I suggest you grab a 770 with 4gb vram. This will take the stress off your GPU when you run dual monitor.

760 sli is enough but get the 4 gb version it will save you 100+ bucks from going to 770 4gb in sli and you will play games at it's max settings

edit: however single 770 4gb is enough for what you seeking
