My PC specs are below, 8320 @4.4ghz, 8gb of ram, and an MSI 780. I was just wondering if going sli would be worth it, as I can get another one for $225 right now. Yes, I would need another PSU, but would it be worth it? Or should I just wait and get a 980..

It´s not worth it unless you´d get the 2nd GTX780 as cheap as dirt, because your CPU would bottleneck the SLI anyhow. If you wanted to upgrade I´d suggest an i5 for gaming and multi purpose an i7.

$225 is a really good deal for another GTX 780.... you'd see a bigger difference with a new CPU (i5 4690k?) Then, you can upgrade to Pascal from Nvidia this year.
