    So i'm building a new rig and wondering what you guy's think would be the best option here. Money is not an issue but atm I'm leaning towards the single GTX 780TI.

    What res. are you planning? If 1440p a single 780Ti would be plenty. If multi monitor maybe look at 780's. Bear in mind you will require a beefier PSU, SLI compatible motherboard etc.

    I'd hold off a bit. The new GTX 880 is rumored to be out in September. http://www.pcper.com/news/General-Tech/Rumor-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-880-Actually-September

    I'm a firm fan of single GPU set-ups. I find SLI/Xfire just not flexible enough in realtion to having to have games running full screen.

    I'd go with a 780Ti especially given your currrent res it will be total overkill anyway.

    I run 2 x GTX 780's in SLI, and never had issues-most newer games have updated SLI profiles/drivers released within a month or so these days anyway. Only problem I normally have is surround profiles.
