I would personally recommend a GTX 980 if you got the cash :D You got a lot of headroom for overclocking! On paper the difference is not that substantial!

The 980 is around 20%- 25% faster at stock speeds. Why ?

Hey man, take a look at the GALAX GTX 980 SOC. It's way cheaper than the Gigabyte counterpart but performs equally well. (a little bit louder, doesn't run as cool)

EVGA was solid when I had two of those. I got my younger brother a G1 960 and seems in particular with EVGA. I'm not entirely sure about the others. Asus with its new fully automated manufacturing process might be something to look out to tbh.
