Should I buy this 980 instead of the 970?

I was planning on buying a 970 in my country and it costs around $330 - $420 (depending on the manufacturer) but I saw a 980 that costs around $430 and the rest of the 980s cost $500-$550+ while the 980ti costs around $680-$750+

 

The specific 980 that sells for $430 is the "Inno3D Geforce GTX 980 OC 4GB" (product page is: http://www.inno3d.com/products_detail.php?refid=121).

 

I don't know why they're selling it for so low compared to the other 980s so I called their store and had them to confirm that it is indeed $430 and brand new/sealed.

 

Is that 980 any good? Should I buy it rather than the 970?

Where? You in the US?

 Just because you don't care, doesn't mean other others don't. Don't be a self-centered asshole. -Thank You a PSA from the people who do not say random shit on the internet.

I'm sorry I forgot to say. It's in the Philippines, I converted the prices to make it more readable.

Go for 980. nvidia 970 is also a very good card. If pocket allows you than 980.

Reference cards are always cheap here(Philippines) my friend.

 

If you're not into custom PCBs and coolers that GTX 980 is a steal.

 

Edit: 

Forget what I said, that's a ref. design with a custom cooler.

 

So yeah, that's a good card.

Is this the same card? Haven't heard a lot about Inno3D but it seems really solid and at that price point it's well worth buying.
