I think a 144Hz Monitor will be much more beneficial for competitive gaming.

PS, GTX 970 isn't worth it, get a GTX 1060 instead...

Well, if you can get a GTX 1060 it will be better. Overwatch works extremely well with NVidia GPUs (This is the reason that an R9 290 or an RX 480 is a no go)

A GTX 970 would work just fine, though!
