I would get the Lighting version of the 290x any day of the week over a 970. With regards to potentially upgrading to the 980; I think that unless you're gonna be playing really, really demanding games that you won't notice the negligible performance difference. A couple things you might wanna look for in the next couple of months is the 300 series release and the 980ti release. Those could prove to be compelling options.

We'll see.
That depends 970 is a middle of the line graphics card, 980 is a high end graphics card, you most likely wont need 980

Price difference isn't worth the performance increase imo. I'd go with the gtx 970, or wait for AMD's 300x series.
