Better single GPU, SLI has many issues (Games dont support it well if at all, more power draw, ect). 

Please quote our replys so we get a notification and can reply easily. Never cheap out on a PSU, or I will come to watch the fireworks.

why, rx470 is bit more while performing much better, 1050ti is also not worth the upgrade. 

if he has a 770 and is asking about sli i'm assuming not a large enough budget for 1070 or higher nor 480. hence 1050ti is a safe recomendation, but sure 1060 would be great, like the 470

1060 is not worth the money, 1050ti is really expensive for the performance it provides. a rx480 on sale can be low as 143 usd after rebate.

You can get a RX 480 for the same price or less than the GTX 1060 3GB

1060 3gb is basically Nvidia seeing how far fanboyism would go, the 3gb 1060 is just a buffed up 1050ti. i would get the rx480 8gb over any 1060, especially on sale.

*cough 3gb 1060 cough* how about this cough cough*

The 1060 3GB is the same price or more than the RX 480 4GB and sometimes even the 8GB. How about this, with this crappy website you are using:
