GTX 780 or keep GTX 660 SLI, also does 8350 bottleneck anyway?

[LordDarius]

Looking for sage advice...
Currently have GTX660SLI on an fx8350/ slightly overclocked to 4300. Running 1080p.
Wondering whether to trade those in, and upgrade to single 780 with a view to SLI when I get the cash.
So, 3 questions...

Is it worth it from a performance perspective?
Will the 8350 bottleneck a 780 SLI setup anyway?
Will an Antec 900w be able to power these humming slabs of silicon.

cheers!

Easy questions first.

-The fx8350 will not botleneck anything, you could 3way sli any card, and it would still keep up.
-Antec 900w is enough (even for sli 780)
-As far as the performance i guess sli 660 would be faster than a 780, by a small amount perhaps, if i had to chose i would probably take a 780, having a single card is a better option, and no doubt that sli 780 (in the future) would be better than sli660.
Performance would drop a bit (maybe) witha single 780, but there is also less power consumption and noise, and it is a newer card.
I would get a 780, sacrifice a bit of power now, to get a lot more latter.

That's great, thanks man.

if you already have 660 sli, the 780 isnt much more powerful, if at all. I would wait for a more significant upgrade. if your looking to go dual 780's then you really want to be running 1440p resolution or more, its a bit of a waste of power otherwise, and you will be cpu bottlenecked.
