It would work but I'd avoid SLI altogether since it can potentially give you a headache with the problems associated with it (microstuttering, games not utilising it properly).

 

Either sell the 970 and get a 980Ti or wait for Pascal/Polaris (I'd go for the latter).

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Tough choice, though for now if I was in your shoes I would sell the 970, buy a 980ti and keep the 3770k.  It's generally better to have a real good single gpu than 2 lessor cards...

 

To get the most for your money anyway, upgrading from a 3770k/ddr3 to a 6700k/ddr4 is a lot of wasted dollars.

It can potentially be a little quicker, but the problem is that in games that do not support sli, it's not going to be.  And there's a lot of scenarios where your 2nd gpu is just going to be wasted.
