I bought a 3 year warranty for 400 dollars, and i can return it still. I think i should quit the warranty and buy another gtx 770 and make it sli? What do you think?

$400?! All cards come with a 1+ year warranty so you don't need it especially at that price!

Peripherals - Logitech G105 - Cobra mouse - Acer G236HL - Logitech desktop mic - Logitech LS21 - Audio Technica ATH-M30

Laptop - Acer Aspire V3 - A84500m - 7670m - 15.6" screen (1366x768) - 3.5GB DDR3  - 500GB Scorpio Blue

you wont lose warranty if you SLI.

 

I think he means he wants the money from the warranty to purchase the second card. Depends on what games you want to play. If you want to play something like Star Citizen on release then I would go with the SLI.

Case = Bitfenix Prodigy, Motherboard = P8Z77 - I Deluxe, CPU = 3570k @ 4.2GHz, RAM = 2x 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws, GPU = Sapphire 7950 Boost Edition, Storage = 256GB Samsung 840 Pro.

Even if he doesn't need the power he sure as hell doesn't need a warranty that costs as much as a new card!

Why buy a $400 warranty when you can just get 2 cards...

I would remove the warranty and either put it towards a second card or maybe a different upgrade.

...how the hell did they talk you into that? You may as well have just bought two of them at the same time.
