Ok so i have the option to get a 780 or a 770 (4gb) 35% off. 

 

At the Moment i have the following specs

 

  • CPU
    Inter Core i5 4590
  • Motherboard
    Gigabyte Z87X D3H (Supports SLI)
  • RAM
    Crucial Ballistix Sport 16 GB Kit
  • GPU
    Gigabyte GTX 770 4GB OC
  • Case
    Bitfenix Shinobi
  • Storage
    Seatgate Desktop 2TB, 250GB Samsung 840 Evo SSD

    BeQuiet 630W 80+ Bronze
  • Display(s)
    2x Asus VS247HR LED 24"

I am also upgrading to a 4690k. So my question is: Should i SLI my 770´s? Or should i sell mine and buy the 780?
 
A simple answer with a short explaination would be great. Thanks!

If you can sell your current i5 for a good price in order to get the 4690k, do it. But if you are not getting your cash back, it's not worth the money; the performance difference isn't that big.

 

How much cheaper is that GTX 770? A 770 SLI isn't bad :)

It's almost always better to go with one stronger card vs two weaker ones. 
That said, if the two 770's is cheaper, it's not the worst thing in the world; Just some games wont work as well/wont support sli at all/wont scale very well.
