I will pick up 2 of these in July if they end up being $600 or less each for my first SLI build.

Well, lucky for me I'll have a month or 2 after release to see how things go and avoid the initial rush and "maybe" even save a little ;)

If the 780 is too expensive in the end for my budget ($1200AUD) I will go 2x 770s instead.
Either way, I'm getting a SLI upgrade in July.

I think you dont need new grpahic card now since you have the best availble that dont need update for many years to come... dont see the point to update since you can top every game now

The card is available for pre-order, starting at over $700. The Titan is sitting at just under $1200, so its much more affordable when comparing it to the parent card, but its still a big cut of cash.

I think I'll wait for the Maxwell cards before upgrading my 560ti.

OK, well at the going prices 2x780s are outside my budget of $1200AUD...
GTX780 AU pricing

Looks like my next upgrade will be 2x770s instead.

@Silenus
I already have a buyer lined up willing to pay $250 for my GTX580 3GB.

along with the GTX 780, im particularly interested in nVidia ShadowPlay, using kepler's built in nvenc encoding chip to record gameplay vids, freeing the CPU from intensive tasks (and compressing it to a smaller mp4 file)

inorite? ShadoPlay wont be using CUDA tho afaik, it will attempt to use the (dormant, and almost no program uses it) nvenc chip built in to every kepler GPU, a dedicated chip for encoding videos.
Tho i dont remember if nvenc can produce better quality vs GPGPU encoding/CUDA

Cuz it's an incremental increase rather than a flagship increase.
