Hey all, until 3 hours ago I was sure to get a SLI of gtx 780 for my new pc. But just today I saw that soon the gtx 880 will be released, and that will consequently cause a price cut to the 780Ti, so my problem is, is it a good idea to get a 780Ti now, and get another one in the next few months, so I save some money now and Ill buy a cheaper 780Ti later? If so, will a i7 4790K @4.0Ghz be good for a SLI of 780Ti?
Thanks for your great help

Really, what is going to happen when the 880 is released is mostly speculation. Most people seem to think that the 880 will perform between the 780 ti and 780 but at a cheaper price point but could be completely wrong. What are the rest of your specs?

Nice rig. I would just buy one now and one later if you are using a single 60Hz 1080p monitor. If your monitor set up is more demanding than you might just want to buy two. This is just my own speculation and certainly not backed up by anything but if there is a price drop I doubt it's going to be drastic, maybe $50.
