~50% faster in gaming.
If you're buying expensive PCs and Graphics cards and you already play games, theres an extremely high likelihood you're going to game on it. I dont buy that he wont game on this thing now that he has the capability, and its a lot lot faster than the Xbox One. There's no reason to continue playing on an Xbox One for non-exclusive titles when your PC is vastly faster and you can plug in a Xbox One controller and/or stream the PC image out to your Xbox/Steam Sink at your TV in the living room. Games end up being cheaper on Steam most the time anyways.
I know its the vogue thing to craft increasingly narrow and contorted use cases that favor one small feature advantage on the 960, but it's really pretty self apparent why the 970 is better when the OP has said he's got an open budget.
