For crying out loud... Wtf is wrong with the 980? It is good 'bang for your buck' now that prices have dropped. Not everyone can afford to spend and extra $150 on the ti over the 980.

But OP can so you might as well JUST DO IT! for future proof

970, if you have to then 980 ti, 980 is a rip

970 is good enough for 1080p, and you could SLI another one later. The 980 will max out pretty much any game at 1080p, while the 980ti is enough to run games at 1440p. Pretty much choose the one you can afford. Ignore the people saying 'Don't get the 980 it is bad for your money' they are quoting Linus at the launch day of the 980ti, BEFORE 980 prices had fallen.

if you have the spare cash go the 980ti... if you dont ide go 980.... i have a 970 and its fantastic but price constraints and my limited pc gaming hurt me, for 1080p though it works great and i run a second monitor

Honestly, 980.

Right now you can pick up an ACX2 card for $480, which is pretty floppin good IMO.

you can always get the g1 gaming for the colorful windforce logo which looks pretty dope :P also the refrence does get hotter

 

there is no available g1 gaming here yet. and yes its cool looking but the problem is its not available here yet. the only available is Zotac 980 ti AMP edition.
