Should I keep my 780 and get another one to run in SLI or should I get a 980? Anyone found some comparisons?

This.. I wouldn't go SLI... power consumption... noise, heat to dissipate, not proper scaling (i.e.. its never 2x, sits around 1.4-1.8x scaling so you never 'get what you pay for'). At 1080 with those two cards, you would want to overclock that CPU so the GPU's can stretch their legs.I wouldn't get either for 1080p. A single 780 is just fine.
If you want to upgrade just for the sake of upgrading, go for the 980 and sell your 780 to recoup some cash.

EDIT: Looks like you did... enjoy!
I'm confused. Why did you pay ~$425 for a second 780? One is overkill for 1080p.
Indeed...a 'moot' point. However it is our duty as those 'in the know' to inform.
