Yes it is.

An AMD cpu has no place in a solely gaming build, end of.

380/390 are better bang for the buck but if you want Nvidia, then yes, it's totally worth.

Is the GTX 970 REALLY worth the extra 100$?

 

I want this card to last me a long time too, and can play any game I want, and it doesn't have to be at max settings, but either medium or high.

get R9 390 instead of 970. 

 

you get 8gb instead of 4 (3.5 usable)

390, yes, 380, not so much. The 380 is really underwhelming. 

Well, compared to the other 2 no but compared to the 960 then hell yes :D

Well here it performs better than a 960 for the same price, but I would go for the R9 390

Recommend what is best, not what you preffer.
