I would probably go for another monitor maybe a 1440p or if budget fits then 4K :D

The display. Get a nice 1080p/1440p monitor (depending on how much you want to spend). Your PC is pretty much completely up to date, so I wouldn't upgrade anything for at least 1 more generation.

why a 780ti? he already has a 770 and an SLI setup would get better performance

new monitor at least 1080p. But you may find if you go higher than 1080p your GPU might not be up to the task.

yea it would but wouldn't he want to upgrade later and a Single card is always better because no matter what game it is you can play it and the performance gain from 770 Sli isn't that much more powerful than a single 780 ti.

- 1440p monitor (monoprice)

 

It's dangerous out there, choose wisely.

If 8GB of RAM is enough, then triple 1440P monitors.

If 8GB isn't, then upgrade to 32GB

And if you don't need either, more SSD's/ RAID
