A one card solution is always prefered over the cumbersome at times CF/SLI.
Titan is a rip off price and you can buy 2*680 4GB's for the price of one Titan.
The rest of your spec is fine for any current GPU.
Well you heard it from gregster, the titan is a rip off
yet he still got two
Dedication that!
I would get two 7950's or a single 7970.
I have just ordered a EVGA GTX680 Sig2 to replace a HIS iceQ Boost 7950 CF setup....the CF setup was just too much hassle in games such as farcry and even something as simple as setting up my video playback was a PITA to get working without glitches. I would rather take the hit in potential performance than be inundated with CF and CCC issues all the time.
I see your point but, if he does get a bigger monitor etc, or wants to sell in future.

It's good having the extra VRAM but unless you've got the grunt from a 3 way SLI set up you'll have to drop settings anyway on a triple 1920x1080 set up to achieve playable FPS.
2560x1440 is a little in the middle and there isn't much information. Here a 2 way SLI set up could potentially have the grunt to utilise more than 2GB of VRAM.
