What PSU do you have? Have you considered the 390? It's generally superior in DX11 by 5% and in DX12 by 30%

I have a EVGA 750 watt semi modular power supply

The NEX aren't exaclty that great - while you have more than enough wattage, I'd be reluctant to OC on it due to voltage regulation and ripple.

Don't really plan to OC don't really know how to be honest

And yes i have thought about the 390 but im looking for something quiet and powerful, plus not a fan of hitman haha

the 970 has an Auto OC function so you don't really decide that - it does half the work itself. Though if you are planning on getting your money's worth, a 970 MUST be OCed
