Well for the games I play like @stealth80said, it scales pretty decent. Not sure about Dota but for The Division and Overwatch, it scales pretty well.

Keep in mind though, that at 1440P, a 1080 will handle anything 60+ FPS. The issue with 2x 1080s at 1440P is the fact that CPU has issues supplying the info to the SLI quick enough, much like i5's are seeing with one 1080 at 1080P.

You could see that in the benchmarks I linked earlier as the jump from non sli to sli in 1440P in the division was around 38 FPS (around 41%) vs 28 FPS at 4k (around 60.5%)

At this time I wouldn't add the second 1080 until you have the 4k monitor, obviously the gains are there, but not as great at 1440P as 4k

Ok I see now. Yeah I'll wait then until I'm ready to make jump to 4k. One last question though. Specifically for gaming and depending on Ryzen, would 7600k be just a good or should I go ahead and get the 7700k considering I'm going 4k with this build in the future?
