1/2 980 ti is better than 970 sli , you get an upgrade path ( sli 980ti), more vram , better memory bandwith and no sli scaling issues.

 

2 I would really decide on which model to get depending on three things : the cooler , the price and clock, unless you are doing extreme overclocking the additionnal power phases in the higher tier models might only give you a small improvement.

 

3 Price is a major factor here , with the kingpin being the highest end card and overclocks better.

In most situtations, it's best to get the best single GPU possible. In this case, DEFINITELY just get the 980ti over the SLI 970s. The kingpin is a high-tier overclocking card, and superclocked are just factory overclocked. Unless you're looking to break overclocking records there's not really a point in getting a kingpin

Zotac or MSI stuff, yes, MSI Gaming 5 is good.

I would recommend the Gigabyte G1 Gaming (or whatever they call their 980ti)

And for an MSI motherboard personally I would say the Krait is amazing for the money, but they're all very good, so go for whatever fits your color scheme
