Get a 970, it's more "future proof" with 4GB of VRAM. 

 

BTW it's my 100th post

Jesus these AU prices make me cringe, but go for a 970 obviously, if you can afford it.

[hypnodog]

Go with the 970. Much better than a 960.

[jkraghify]

What are you playing? That's important. If you are playing games like league, minecraft, or tf2, I would say 960. If you play games like BF3/4 then the 970.

Unless you are gaming at less than 1080p. Then 960.

If you are gaming at greater than 1080p, the 970.

Getting a 960 is not very smart in most situations. Get a 970.

[Thenothing]

Ok I guess I will go with a GTX 970 thx

It's not that bad. 

 

The 970  is 479 AUD which is equvilent to 247 GBP.

In the UK a 970 costs 274 GBP.

So £27 cheaper, not much

they both have 4gb vram since he's comparing it with the 4gb version of the 960.

 

but OP should still get the 970

As an owner of a GTX 970 G1 I would really recommend it.

Just wondering if I get corsair 200r mid tower casing will the GTX 970 fit in it?

Comparing prices between 2 countries is entirely different.

While AUS might be cheaper for where you live, it might actually be extremely expensive where he lives because of the amount he gets paid. There's a reason why Australians complain that Australia is expensive.

For a 26% difference in price you get 50% more performance with the 970. Seems like a no-brainer if you're willing to spend the extra $100.

I don't consider a 970 expensive, they're about 350 Euros average here, which converted to USD would be around 450-500 aswell. But I doubt that they're 450-500 usd in america.

[lovingGamer]

970 all the way!

It's better than 290:)
