For the same price or just tad more get the 980 Classified. 

 

Btw any 980 will be good for 144hz 1080p gaming.

I definitly would not go for a 980 for 1080p gaming. You would be better of with an r9 380 or a 970

Any 980 would run 1080p fine.

 

Would probs be fine with 1440p too.

 

If you can, just try save the extra cash and get the 980Ti

 

Or get a 970 for 1080p

I still pref EVGA.

1080p is a tad underkill for a 980 though.

Need the extra power to deliver above 60FPS, he / she will be using a 144Hz panel. A 970 or 390 wont really cut it for harder to run games at high settings at the target framerate.
