If you have the money go for 980, if you want a budget version 970 is your choise. I have 970, and I don't regret it.

It depends on what you plan to use it for.

970 - 1080P 60+FPS

980 - 1440P 60+FPS

980Ti - 4K 60+FPS

Generally the 970 should have no issue at all, but if you don't plan on upgrading for a long time, get the GTX 980.

Best Of Luck!

I would recommend you not to get the 970, according to what I hear from benchmarks and other users, the 970 is not efficient for it's price. So you can get a better video card with the same money you would spend on the 970

Kind of a pointless question.
Obviously the 980 is more powerful and is hence more expensive compared to the 970.
If you're on a budget build and is looking for some great 1080p gaming, get the 970.
If you have money to spend and you're looking for something that will be able to run all the games pretty well for the near future, get the 980.

If it were up to me though, I would get the 970 in SLI instead of the 980.
